Source

Visit Museum Giethoorn 't Olde Maat Uus, which is located in an original historical farmhouse. It is the only place in Giethoorn where you can see how people lived more than 100 years ago and how they earned a meagre living by cutting peat and building small boats (‘punters’). There is also a museumshop with coffeecorner and temporary exposition. An audiotour in multiple languages is included in the entrance fee.
