The name Szegvár can be found both in archaeology lexicons and reference books about the early history of humanity. It is because of the Neolith quarry called "Tűzköves" close to the eastern suburbs of the village.

A small exhibition room sets a memorial to anthropologist professor Dr. Lajos Bartucz. In the memorial room we can learn about his work and life.

In the beginning of the 16th century the castellum built by János Dóczy served as a defendable fort of the vicinity. The village was named after the name of this fort. In the 17-18th century the word 'vár' (castle) was added to the name, thus forming the current name of the settlement: Szegvár.

The exhibion represents the lifestyle of the poor peasant family of Szegvár. The residentia and chaste room contains all furniture and instruments used by all the peasant families of the time. There is a beautiful painted-carven ended towered bed and the tulip bin standing beside. These were made at the beginning of the 19th century.
