Hosmasa (by appointment)<br />
Educational programme.<br />
Hosmasa Yad la"Haganah" Museum –<br />
Built in 1934 over a well, set in sand dunes, the Bauhaus<br />
styled building, served as secrete training base for "Haganah"<br />
members from Holon and area, prior to the establishment of<br />
the state of Israel. The "Haganah" was an underground<br />
organization in the 40's that fought against British mandate<br />
ruling of Palestine.<br />
An interactive exhibition and tour allows visitors to experience<br />
the "Haganah" spirit, learn about the 'security road' and life in<br />
Holon before and during the war of independence.<br />
Visit includes entrance to the old Hosmasa well, and tour of<br />
Hosmasa garden and artifacts.<br />
Extended tour may include visits to additional historic sites as<br />
the Pillbox, the "Security Road" and water tower as well as<br />
new sites and attractions in Holon.<br />
We offer tour programs especially designed for school classes.<br />
