The millennial town of Sopron has had centuries old connections with mining even before the opening of our museum. Mineral coal was first discovered in 1753 in the historical Hungary, in the woods around Sopron in the area, which is now called Brennbergbánya. Here the coal was started to be used for industrial purposes with very good results until 1951. In 1920, The School of Mining and Forestry that was transferred here from Selmecbánya according to the "Decision of Trianon" started to function in Sopron.

The imprinted brick collection shown here was collected by the master builder Nándor Őri, member of the management of the Dombóvár Town Development and Protecting Society. The dwelling tower built in the early Middle Ages hosts 765 bricks made in various ages and in different workshops.

In 1961, six smoky-kitchen house still existed in Dózsa György street. Today, after these were taken down, beautiful mansions stand there. The last owner of the old type of house moved out in 1971. The unoccupied house was about to decay completely. Fortunately, it was bought by the National Nature and Environment Protection Bureau and reconstructed it. In the summer of 1978, when the reconstruction works were almost done, the citizens of the village set a good example.

The Ráday family developed Pécel into one of the leading cultural centers of Hungary in the 18th century. The family members were different from the nobility in that they supported arts. They actively participated in public life. Many of the members were county or ecclesiastic officers.

The Village House was moved from the village of Tömörkény. The Post History exhibition opened in the building in 1987. Two other exhibitions, 'Memoirs of Post Master Women' and the 'News of Tivadar Puskás' accompany this.

The Kossuth Museum is one of the affiliates of the Pest County Museum Directory. The institute was established following the initiation of citizens of Cegléd in 1917, with the objective of collecting memories of the war that was going on those times. Artifacts owned by the son of Lajos Kossuth, Ferenc Kossuth are also part of the Collection.

The symbol of Sopron is the Tűztorony (Fire Tower) Its bottom part was built upon Roman wall remains. From the 13th century it served as a gate tower of the town walls. It gained its present form (the baroque round balcony and its cap) after the town fire of 1976. Watchmen of the Tűztorony had a very important task: to watch the area and indicate possible fires by a lamp or by colourful flags. They also gave signals when strange soldiers or wine transporters were coming toward the town. They had to play some musical instruments, too, for at weddings, burrials or town celabrations they had to provide the music.
