About the museum
The Klaavola cavalry farm (ratsutila) is mentioned in the historical records as early as the beginning of the 17th century, and it is one of the oldest farms in the village of Hyökkälä. In 1744 the farm was divided between two brothers, Johan and Erik Högberg, and Klaavola remained the main farm. The main building dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and was extended in the 1940s.
The farm’s lands were gradually sold off, and the land was farmed until the early 1970s. When the farm passed to the municipality of Tuusula, it became a local heritage museum, which has been in operation since 1983.
The museum depicts the life of a wealthy Uusimaa farm in the early 20th century. The rooms are furnished in the style of the inter-war period with objects from the museum’s collections and with belongings of the farm’s former residents, the Collin family. The yard has a granary, a dairy room, a sauna and an outbuilding with an outdoor toilet and a cellar.
