The lump museum was founded in 1978 and could be visited from 1997 in the town hall of the community of Eindhout. Since 2008 it has been located at Grensstraat45, 2431 Veerle-Laakdal.
On September 29th, 2009 our fourth graders of the cath. Primary school (today community elementary school Vorst) for the first time in our twin town Laakdal in Belgium. There you experienced how the children are taught there and how they spend their breaks. A school trip isn’t one if there’s some fun too. So our children were allowed to play at the forest museum. In the forest museum, the children then learned which animals live in the forest. Since then we have tried to visit the children in Belgium ud of course the other way around.
In 2006 we drove from here to Belgium to a wonderful festival in honor of the Cruysberghs family who celebrated their 50th ownership of Kasteel Meerlaer.
Citizens from Laakdal have been visiting us since 2015 to visit the local Christmas markets. So that it doesn't get too boring, we have limited ourselves to repeating this only every two years.
An event organized by the Society of Bachelors. The Girogruppe from Vorst Belgium has been gathering for this sporting event for several years. The boys and girls face every challenge.
