The village hall was the headquarters of the delegates and leadership. Usually it was built in the middle of the village, close to the church. The village hall of Tömörkény built in 1895-96 was moved over to the open air collection. The eclectic building was partly built in the Classicist style characteristic at the end of the 19th century. By this building, the skanzen has a more county town quality.

The year 1896 is not only the time of the birth of the Feszty-Cyclorama but also the time of the heydays of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. This was the period when the development of the Hungarian economy was extremely spectacular. The 'promenade' was the walk of the towns of the time. The social life, the holidays, and the weekdays were spent there. Business relationships, social life, and entertainment found their way of expression on the walks.

Among the towns of the beginning of the 20th century, Szeged had the largest population living in homesteads surrounding the town. In 1930 over 45 000 people lived in 10 000 homesteads of 10-15 acres around Szeged. The homestead we present at our exhibition, the placement and characteristics of the buildings was significant at the turn of the 19-20th centuries. The premises of the house followed the room-kitchen-room-chamber order.
