FRIENDS
The Cavalry museum is depending on the support of its ´Friends´ among others to keep its financial stuation healthy. Their yearly contribution enables us to organize temporary displays, to perform maintenance on and restoration of the objects in the museum. Also to obtain new and unique objects that concern the Cavalry and its history.
‘Friends’ are allowed to use our library when they study historic people and interesting facts and other subjects.
The museum is a meeting place for veterans, not just from the Cavalry but from other parts of the military as well, for (ex) cavalrymen and for everybody who is interested in the history of the army in general and the Cavalry in particular.
