The Kaarlela Museum of Local History and Culture

The Kaarlela Museum of Local History and Culture presents local Finnish rural culture from the 19^th century. The courtyard houses a stable, workshop and forge, a smoke sauna, drying barn and various outbuildings. A small cottage, tannery and carding works can also be seen here. The museum has an exhibition space in a stone building built in 1777 for Anders Chydenius an economist, a member of the legislative assembly and the local vicar. The neighbouring Kaarlela vicarage was completed in 1737 on the initiative of Vicar Karl Gustav Werander.
