Outdoor and indoor activities in historic surroundings

For example, make your way past the exhibition in the city museum's shed The Battle of Fredericia in 1849. Here you can sit down in the small soldiers' camp and write a letter to your loved ones, just as the soldiers did in 1849. Or you can take a look inside the museum farm's small soldiers' chamber, which is a copy of the small chambers that were found on all farms in Fredericia, when the city functioned as a fortress.

Outside you can explore the museum's historic buildings, which are all old buildings from the Fredericia area. See, for example, the old tobacco barn, which has been used by the city's citizens for drying tobacco, or The museum garden, the museum's associated gardens. In the summer, for example, you can experience the beautiful rose garden, which a local rose enthusiast has donated to the city museum.
