    Even in Amsterdam they want Achterhoek wheels



    Manufacturing a perfect round wagon wheel seems simple, but is still quite difficult. Many Achterhoek farmers have made it their specialty. It is a good way to earn some extra money in the winter months. And they understand the profession: the wheels they produce are purchased all the way to Amsterdam and Oberhausen. Until 1920 they work with simple machines powered by steam or a simple engine. Then power tools make their appearance. This workshop is a reconstruction of a factory in the Woold, a neighborhood near Winterswijk. Wheelmaking is a form of home industry that is common in the region around Winterswijk. Probably also because of the excellent oak that is abundantly available.



    Built here in 1941. Interior reconstruction ca. 1880.

      Each building in the open-air museum tells its own story.
