The Jäppilä Museum is integrated into the landscape of downtown Jäppilä. Of
the old architecture in downtown Jäppilä, the church built in 1872 and its
churchyard and cemetery surrounded by a stone fence, the former granary that
is now a museum, the school, the town hall and the older housing are left.
The Jäppilä museum was founded in 1961 in the town’s former municipal granary.
This unclad, log granary painted with yellow ochre was built in 1882. The city
of Pieksämäki owns and runs the museum.
This exhibition on two floors has a diverse collection of items that shed
light on the life of the town’s residents on display, with a focus on
agriculture-related livelihoods. In addition, there are artefacts related to
farming, fishing, transportation and housekeeping on display. The museum also
has school-related items on display.
