After a greeting at the entrance to the museum we proceed to view several ancient rural buildings in varied states of reconstruction. These range from simple dwellings to functional buildings such as assembly halls and toll cottages. We also see several farm buildings, mills and granaries as well as structures like windpumps and waterwheels in action. There are also kilns burning charcoal, firing clay pots and a demonstration of ploughing with horses and harvesting.
