In many working hours the members of the association have built up the museum and have restored the machines of peatwinning and tilling. The exhibition focuses on the renaturalizationed peat bog area, the peatbaggers and the steam plough used by the former german company Ottomeyer. With its 30.000 visitors a year, the Moormuseum gains supra-regional interest. In 2003, due to the enourmous burden on the homeland association, the responsibility has been distributed upon the association, the District Emsland and the community of Geeste. The museum’s fortunes are now lead by a fulltime scientist with the aim to make the house forward-looking through moderate restructuring and modernization. Until spring of 2006 projects are at first the renovation of the exhibition hall, the conception of a new exhibition and a better connection to the museum’s exterior area. %U http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7362 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
