The smells of floor wax, dung and fresh hay permeate the air, then from somewhere come the sounds of wet laundry hitting stone \u2026 The Hessenpark Open Air Museum takes its visitors on a voyage of discovery of everyday life in Hessian villages of yesteryear. More than a hundred buildings from all over Hesse open up areas of adventure to the senses: the cool walls of a 15th century church, hard school benches from the turn of the 20th century, the rattling of dishes in a 1950\u2019s pub. Most of the buildings have been reconstructed using the original materials from the relevant period in history.<\/p>\n

Houses telling stories<\/strong>
\nThe Museum was established in 1974 during the time when lots of old houses made room for new ones in the villages and small towns. However, in the town of Neu-Anspach, in the heart of Hesse, some of them made of wood and stone were saved to be witnesses to the past. The special thing about an Open Air Museum is this: the exhibits are houses, workshops, trees, fields and even live animals. And the visitors? They are right at the centre, experiencing history first-hand through theatrical tours and workshops, and by exploring gardens, barns and kitchens or by dining in a historical tavern.<\/p>\n

\nWe would love to tell you more about everyday life in Hesse\u2019s past. Bring your friends and family and enjoy our park\u2019s historical surroundings \u2013 with all your senses.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n
