The old farmer's iron works.
The Los Hoes buildings were constructed around a frame of wooden beams. The beams were secured with wooden pins. If necessary the farm could be easily taken apart and moved to richer farm grounds.
The outside walls were made by filling the squares in the wooden frame (vakwerk).
The Molenbeek is the stream that supplied the mill with water. The only building left is the Mill-house; the entrance building of the museum.
One of the old waterwells of Ootmarsum (there is another one in the village). In stead of hoisting a bucket with a rope, the bucket was lowered with a long beam with counter weight.
The "Toffelkeelder" is a small shed in the ground where potatoes were stored.
