Pienmäki Farm Buildings Museum
The Pienmäki Farm Buildings Museum in Hankasalmi is a splendid place to visit in the summer. The path leading to the Pienmäki house takes you to the past and you will arrive to a unique yard lined with log houses. By popping into the house and the grain drying and threshing cabin known as riihi as well as by peeking into the sauna, the barns, stable, cart shed, and workshop you get a sense of the life there in the past. The activity corner of the cowshed offers small activities for the little ones.
