    TP 34. Inside is a small but complete exhibition about flax cultivation. The main house used to be a ferry house.

    There was a barge connection between Groningen and Stedum, as a form of public transport with a fixed timetable. In 1844, for example, the sob fed according to the route booklet once a day, 4 days a week. At the time, the owner of the ferry house was barge or sob boater Freerk Hoving. Freerk was also a lime burner and stone merchant. Looks like the oven was in the orchard.


    Between 1870 and 1934 there was a flax factory in Stedum. The barn of this building was used for the flax production of the Pilon company. The flax was cleaned in this. Currently there is a small museum about flax production as it has been on site.
