This small house was built towards the end of the 19th century. It initially stood in Płaza near Wygiełzów. There is only a hallway and a small room inside. The hut belonged to the poorest villagers. There is a clay floor in the hallway. One can see a quern for grinding grain into flour and a groats mortar. To the right is a small room in which a modest set of furnishings and crockery is on display. A canvas ‘husiaczka’ used as a cradle hangs next to the bed. Under the bed is a sheaf of grain on which older children used to sleep. In the middle of the room is a place where baskets were woven from pine root harvested from forest clearings. The sales of baskets generated meagre earnings.
