Savukoski Local Heritage Building Puistola

The farmhouse that currently serves as a Local Heritage Building was built by Väinö Halonen, alocal government foreman and farmer, in 1947.  He was a well-known and liked person in Savukoski. His family consisted of a wife and five children. In addition to the residential building, the farmstead featured a cowshed and a lake-side sauna, which together form an entity typical of the post-war reconstruction era.

The ground floor of the residential building has been furnished following the original 1950s style interior of the house. The exhibition on the upper floor consists of local artefacts. The collection includes the equipment used by the local midwife Elina Oinonen. Farming related artefacts are on display in the cowshed.
