This village house from the end of the 19th century is the memory of a region long isolated in its mountains. The museum conserves a collection of popular art: paper cut-outs by Hauswirth (1809-1871) and Saugy (1871-1953); parchments from the Gruyère period; watercolors by Abram-David Pilet (1745-1810) and Nicolas Gachet (1736-1817), as well as drawings and prints. One can relive the beginnings of tourism; discover a collection of craftsmen's tools, weapons, keys, locks, waffle irons, a blacksmith's forge, various peasant objects, as well as a collection of cowbells. These objects of exceptional quality are displayed in 15 rooms, many of which are reconstructions of cottage rooms (kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms), with their inlaid and painted furniture, their domestic stained glass windows, and where the atmosphere of the homes of yesteryear can be experienced.
