Kluki- Historic Polish Village

Have you ever wondered what life was like for your ancestors during the course of your research? It is easy to get wrapped up in the document research for your ancestors. Take a moment to examine how they lived. This will giive you a new persepective on their lives and may help your research.

While visiting with my distant cousin Tadeusz in Słupsk, Poland this summer I had the opportunity to see many places around Słupsk. One of the places that fascinated me the most was a historic polish village musem in Kluki. I think I took about 400 photos that examined all the details of the construction of each building.

Słowinska Village Museum in Kluki

Zagroda Słowińska "Słowinska Park" was built in 1962. This museum of a reconstructed village shows the traditional and typical culture of fishing villages in the area. The surrounding scenery  can be viewed from Rowokół "holy mountain" which is 115 meters above sea level.

The Museum of the Slovinian Village in Kluki is a recreation of the layout of an old village. Walking through this historic village feels like you have stepped back in time. The unique and fascinating thing about the Museum is that it is an incredible reconstruction of a section of a village. These buildings come from all around the area. They have been carefully deconstructed and then reconstructed on site. The only access for visitors is one road which runs through the center of the village.
