   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   These days there are also a number of flower bulb growers in Drenthe, also in Rolde. Mostly tulips. In April, the tower of the Jacobuskerk (the Roldertoren) provides a perfect backdrop to the abundantly flowering tulips (see photo) See more..

3. 4.0 Streek Museum Het Dorp van Bartje (9 reviews)
   - Het Dorp van Bartje
   Spent 1-2 hours Speciality Museums
   
   
   Streek Museum "Het Dorp van Bartje" is a museum which is partly devoted to artefacts from the area, partly to the children's author Anne de Vries, author of the books about a character called "Bartje". Bartje is well-known in Holland. He is a village boy who grows up in a poor farming family in the early 20th century, the same time that the author himself was a child. The characters in the book speak Drenthe dialect. The most famous quotation from the stories comes when his mother serves up brown beans, which he hates. When asked to say grace he refuses, exploding with (in modern Dutch) "Ik bid niet voor bruine bonen" ("I don't say grace for brown beans"). The family reaction from the strictly religious family can be imagined! Entrance to the museum is free of charge. There is a building (one room) which contains photos and letters of Anne de Vries and other documents relating to him (Anne can be a man's name in north Holland). Obviously it will only be of interest to Dutch speakers who are familiar with Bartje (I read the books during my childhood, part of which was spent in Holland). The main building contains a restaurant (brown beans are on the menu) and a large room with various local objects. Unfortunately these are thrown together in a rather chaotic mess, and the whole room rather resembles an attic which needs clearing out. There is no information anywhere. We do not know what period things come from (a variety it would seem). There is potential here for something interesting, but it needs complete reorganisation. See more..

   Bowling Alleys
   
   
   We hadden iets te vieren en mijn dochter koos bowlen. Het was er niet druk en we werden vriendelijk ontvangen. Na het bowlen zaten we in de voorzaal voor een eenvoudige patatmaaltijd. Daar was niets mis mee. See more..
