Museum - Region Historical Town Museum

The region history materials were collected between 1961 and 1964, for the 700th anniversary of the settlement. Having seen the wanderful materials, the leaders of the village donated a house for maintaing the collection. The village museum was opened in 1st May 1965.

In the following year we were given three classrooms in the school of Kéktó. We were welcoming our visitors here for 19 years. The collection moved to its present home (150 years old peasant house) in summer 1985.

The exhibition represents the 6 thousand years old history of the settlement. Stone tools of the pre-historian age, utensils from the bronze age, milling stones, small tombs and bone tools are exhibited.

Carved stones, bricks, Turkish cannon balls, old coins are shown from the middle ages. Besides manuscripts and certificates of the archive, there can be seen old Kossuth notes, ethnographic items, carved and painted materials and grave stones. The 19th century peasant life is represented by kitchen tools, clothes and furniture.

Agricultural devices are exhibited in the large barn outside.
