"Pure folk culture" can be experienced in the approximately 35 reconstructed buildings, all of which originate from the Heideboden. Here, as a museum guest, you can enter the houses, linger in the rooms, indulge in memories, or simply let the atmosphere wash over you.
The former small private collection of Josef Haubenwaller has been expanded over the last 20 years into a large regional outdoor museum. It offers insight into village life and farming in the Heideboden from around 1890 to the 1960s. Then came the significant socio-economic changes, and the "Hoadbauern" sought and found a connection to the "new, modern era".
The village museum is divided into three areas. The first focuses on the fundamentals of securing existence - from grain cultivation to beet farming, the second on stockpiling for personal use. Behind a small pond lies the third part, the idealtypical village with everything that once belonged there - green and pond, inn, school, cinema, municipal office, fire station, craftsmen's workshops, shops, dairy, mill, ... and even a church, slightly elevated on a hill, towering over it all.
