Endevours to collect regional ethnographic materials were made as early as in the 1960'ies. However, because of lack of appropriate exhibition space these objects got lost or destroyed.
In the 1980-ies a new eight-roomed school was built, so the late baroque building of the summer residency of the bishops - which was at the time used as a school - were thus released. The government gave supports for the renovation of the old rectory. The local council decided to use the rooms of the first floor for a library, whereas the ground floor rooms would be used for the exhibition of the region history items. The collection today is managed by the local government.
Students supervised by Mrs. Ferenc Jászberényi were collecting, cleaning and preserving the wide range of materials donated mostly by the local citizens. The collection is still growing day by day.
