Beit Aronson and a Day in Zichron Yaakov

Beit Aaronson is one of those small historical sites that are hidden gems. The Aaronson family members were part of "NILI" - the Jewish underground movement that helped the British fight against the Turkish occupation of Palestine during World War I.  Without revealing too much, the Aaronson family story has become legendary.  Part of the premises has been preserved as the original home with the remainder converted into a museum.  A visit to the museum will take about an hour.  Once done, you can stroll down Hameyasdim street, the main street in Zichron Yaakov, which is filled with lots of cafes and small shops.
