Rabobank account no.: NL97 RABO 0166 1568 84 to Stichting 't Walvisvaarders Huisje
The restauration of 2016-2017 was financed by substantial contributions by Stichting Loodsen door het Landschap (financed by Waddenfonds and Provincie Noord-Holland) and Mr. Jan Willem Baerveldt Fonds (part of Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds).
Since 2012, we have received generous contributions by STIFTexel, Texelfonds, Texel 600, RABO Noord-Holland Noord, LIONS and VSB-fonds. Thanks to these contributions, we were able to acquire glass cabinets, a bookcase and various objects for the collection and we were able to restore a wood stove and set up a website.
We are also very grateful for the private financial donations we have received over the years, which made it possible to commission the watercolour paintings by Johan Reydon (showcased on this website and our flyers), and to acquire a bed step, two plate racks and lamps. We have also received objects, which fit the interior of the house.
The German and English translations have been donated by Compass Translations.
