Aleksandrijos k., Skuodo r.

This museum, founded in 2007, spans an area of 36 ares and preserves the heritage of old-time agriculture and homekeeping. The exhibition displays authentic antique furniture, agricultural tools, unique household items, and work devices that tell of Lithuanian rural life traditions. In the restored log sheds, visitors can also see historical motorcycles and visit a working forge, where they can try their hand at blacksmithing. The museum's founder, Virginijus Mitkus, recalls the first exhibit – ancient millstones donated by a neighbor. Over time, the collection has been enriched with various agricultural tools, including unique plows made by metallurgists in Liepaja. The environment

also attracts visitors' attention: the Mitkus homestead is decorated with blacksmithing works – metal insects, dragons, and stones brought from Lithuanian villages. These stones are organized by color, shape, structure, and some even contain fossilized shells. The diversity of exhibits includes everything from plowing and sowing tools, hay cutting machines to household items like spinning wheels and antique lanterns. The museum, which also presents World War II exhibits, offers an insight not only into Lithuania's heritage but also into that of Latvia, Germany, and Belarus. Visits must be arranged in advance, and a virtual tour option is available for those interested.
