Drenthe 1924 in Color: Part-2 Rural Wonders

Step into the rustic charm of Drenthe, a northeastern Dutch province, with this rare color footage from 1924 in part 2 of an enchanting series. Far from the bustle of cities, this film roams through the province’s natural beauty and heritage—known for ancient hunnebedden stone graves and the TT motor races. Visit Diever’s quiet village streets, watch a shepherd guide his flock in Smilde, and trace the Drenthe Main Canal’s shimmering waters. Peek inside a factory mixing sand and limestone, a stone works shaping the land’s bounty, and ‘De Zulthe,’ a children’s recovery home radiating care. From Coevorden’s lively market day to a wood trade company’s stacks of timber and sheep-dotted rural vistas, this reel captures a simpler time in Assen’s province. A delight for history lovers, Dutch culture fans, and nature enthusiasts, it’s a vivid slice of 1920s Drenthe.
