Sodankylä Local History Museum
The Sodankylä Local History Museum introduces village life in the early 20th century. Almost all 13 buildings in the museum grounds have artefacts on display. The museum provides the visitors with a clear picture of the local domestic and village culture and the trades practised in the Sodankylä region.
The museum project started when the Sodankylä-Seura Association started collecting artefacts and preserving traditions in 1949. The main building is originally from the village of Riesto and was erected in the museum grounds in 1962. It was built in 1906 and was owned by the Kuukkeli family until it in the 1950s was transferred into the ownership of the Kemijoki company.
