Heemse
Heemse is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Hardenberg.
Restaurant De Bokkenpruik is located in the village.
In 1880, plans were being drafted for the building of tramlines from Zwolle to Coevorden and from Avereest to Gramsbergen. The mayor of Hardenberg, Willem van Ittersum, offered subsidies if that last line went to Hardenberg instead of Gramsbergen. In 1886, the first sod was turned by the Dedemsvaartsche Stoomtramweg-Maatschappij. For financial reasons, the company decided to let the line end in Heemse.
