Practical information

What this place tells us about the Geopark

The Local Heritage Museum Ter Palen shows that history is not only written in the landscape, but also in people, archives, and stories. Its collection connects the grand narrative of the Schelde Delta with the small stories of villages, streets, and families. Here, you can discover how communities have adapted over time and how traditions evolve alongside changing land and water. Ter Palen preserves these stories, as the living memory of the delta, close to home.
