About the museum

Korpo Hembygdsmuseum is located about 800 metres from Korpo centre in the direction of Hväsby. In the green courtyard there are about ten buildings that were moved here from different parts of Korpo. The museum is run by Korpo Hembygdsförening rf (Korpo Local Heritage Association).
