YAAKOV KANNER HOUSE
In the kanner house numerous activites of the "HAGANA" were carried out from 1929 until the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. For many years the home served as a first aid station and fired station.

During the war of Independence, the basemant was converted unto a temporary Field Hospital.
