It
is
a
museum
that
shows
the
life
of
rural
people,
both
day
laborers
and
those
who
cultivated
the
lands
of
families,
also
peasants,
but
who
could
afford
to
put
the
care
of
their
plots
in
the
hands
of
others,
and
also
of
the
figure
of
the
masoveros.
The
museum
has
two
spaces:
the
house
of
the
lords,
a
recreation
of
a
typical
farmhouse
made
of
stone,
and
a
construction
also
made
of
the
same
stone,
which
would
be
like
a
barn.
In
this
space,
on
the
walls,
there
are
photographs
of
the
different
tasks,
not
only
in
the
field,
but
also
others
related
to
the
forest
and
other
basic
tasks
related
to
the
cultivation
and
production
of
wine
and
oil.
This
"barn"
has
devices
and
tools
that
have
surely
changed
little
over
the
centuries,
from
the
17th
to
the
end
of
the
19th
century
and
even
well
into
the
20th
century.
To
highlight
in
this
space
is
the
grape
press
and
the
cart,
essential
for
any
activity
that
had
to
be
carried
out
(going
to
collect
firewood
and
other
products,
going
to
look
for
goods
in
the
town
or
another
farmhouse)
or
presented
(going
to
pick
up
the
doctor).
,
or
to
a
teacher
or
a
priest).
The
space
of
the
main
house,
a
very
good
reconstruction
of
what
would
be
a
farmhouse
for
possible
people
of
the
time,
is
divided
into
three
levels.
Below,
next
to
the
access
entrance,
where
they
sell
the
tickets,
a
kitchen
is
represented,
next
to
a
stable
for
the
animals
and
also
some
tools
typical
of
tasks
with
them.
On
the
second
floor,
which
is
already
dedicated
to
how
the
owners
of
the
hacienda
lived,
a
large
dining
room,
a
living
room,
as
a
place
to
read
and
receive
visitors,
the
master's
main
room
and
the
master's
room
are
reproduced.
daughter
or
son
of
the
house.
Finally,
on
the
third
level
is
the
space
dedicated
to
airing
sausages,
storing
grain
and
where
all
types
of
measurements
of
aggregates
and
liquids
that
were
used
before
the
decimal
system
was
introduced.
All
objects
and
furniture,
many
from
the
19th
century
and
early,
well
into
the
20th
century.
They
are
in
perfect
magazine
order.
In
addition,
outside
the
farmhouse
there
is
an
exhibition
of
different
machines
used
until
well
into
the
20th
century,
which
are
in
operation
so
that
the
visitor
can
get
an
idea
of
how
they
worked
and
were
worked
not
so
long
ago:
an
oil
mill,
a
waterwheel
to
be
moved
by
animals,
another
that
took
out
water
in
boxes
and
a
grinding
wheel
for
wheat
and
cereals.
The
guides,
who
know
what
they
have
in
hand,
explain
very
well
everything
there
is
to
see,
answer
the
visitors'
questions,
and
leave
you
time
to
go
at
your
leisure
admiring
and
reading
the
little
signs
that
everyone
has,
or
almost
all
the
museum
objects.
For
me
it
was
a
very
interesting
and
very
well
guided
visit.
