...Living History in the Funen Village
Every day during the summer period you will be greeted by the members of Living History.
You can meet
- the master of the household,
- the mistress,
- the farmhand
- or the young girl in their everyday doings.
The cow is being milked, the field is being ploughed, and the home-made yarn is being dyed. The women are washing and baking bread. And in shady corner you'll find the retired old lady with her piece of knitting.
Living History tells the story of how ordinary country people lived in Funen in the 19th century.
