Old Aalten

Loohuisweg 5, Haart

Overview

Many people in Aalten will remember this place as the restaurant and function venue ‘t Schepersveld, with its playground, miniature golf course and skittle alleys. Formerly known as De Wever, it has served as a hospitality venue for at least eight decades: a postcard from around 1940 already describes it as an ‘uitspanning’ (roadside inn).

On 1 July 2020, the Ruesink family, from ’t Westendorp in IJzerlo, took over ’t Schepersveld and renamed it Suzie’s Farm.
