Cazemier farm

The Cazemier farm is located in the heart of Tolbert. The Fredewalda Heritage Foundation manages this farm, the oldest records of which date back to 1607. The pride and distinctiveness is the model of Tolbert in 1925.

In 1994, when the Fredewalda Heritage Foundation was established, the idea for the model soon saw the light to have a representation of the past. A reference point around which a heritage room can base its activities. What could be more concrete than a model? The funding made the project extra special: the 119 buildings were purchased for 500 guilders each by the villagers. The foundation was greatly shocked when in 2015 the glass plate over the model lay in shards on the houses. The damage was enormous and the repair of the models took weeks.

The museum originated when the last descendants of the Cazemier family left the farm. Tolbert joined forces to find a new purpose for the characteristic building. The farm visibly hosts the heritage room in the living area and the village house in the barns and outbuildings. In the large garden, there is an orchard, a vegetable garden, and a playground.

The Fredewalda Heritage Foundation organizes various activities in the Cazemier Farm.
