The Skaudvila Region Museum is situated in the historic 1900-built Skaudvila Parish building, which has witnessed many significant events in the town's history. This building hosted the first Lithuanian cultural evenings, cultural events, and provided medical and domestic services. It also bore witness to painful historical moments when it served as the NKVD headquarters and prison. After many years of use as a police station, the museum was opened here in 2019, though it was originally founded in 1977 by Dainotas Habdangas. Visitors to the museum

can see archaeological artifacts, a collection of medical history, a recreated parish secretary’s office, and various old documents, photographs, and publications. The museum also displays World War II artifacts, artisan tools, and items that tell the story of the once-famous Skaudvila markets. The ethnographic exhibition provides insight into the life of peasants over a century ago, featuring rare items such as a wooden plow and an ancient "drylių" auger. The Skaudvila Region Museum is a place where the town’s history and culture intertwine.
