The Witos family home of 1814 is wooden, with whitened clay lined walls and a straw roof. This is an example of rural construction in a village near Tarnów, where the entire farm was housed under one roof. The house consists of a hallway, a large room, a chamber and a small room, the former stable. Part of the premises belonged to Witos's father, who lived with his family in a stable converted into a room with a vestibule-cowshed-room.

Andrzej Witos, Wincenty's brother, inherited and sold the homestead in 1921, and the Witos family and folk activists bought it back in 1971 for use as a museum. The cottage collects agricultural objects and tools from the second half of the 19th century. The farmyard has a barn and a well with a crane. Since 2012, the cottage has belonged to the Society of Friends of the Wincenty Witos Museum. It was renovated in 2015. The new farmhouse built by Witos between 1905 and 1913 consists of five wooden tiled buildings arranged in a quadrangle: a two-bay dwelling house with a passageway hallway and four rooms, two barns, a stable and a cellar with an extension. The house retains the authentic interiors, the original furnishings of Witos's study room with documents, personal effects and memorabilia, portraits and gifts from the peasants. Also authentic is the room of Witos's daughter Julia, the kitchen with a bread oven operated from the vestibule, and the room of the lady of the house, i.e., Wincenty Witos's wife. The stable houses a historical exhibition on the life and activities of the three-time Prime Minister of Poland. The Large Barn collects agricultural objects and tools used in the countryside in the 2nd half of the 19th century, while the Small Barn collects mainly historical folk banners and several other exhibits, such as harvest wreaths.

The homestead has survived unchanged to this day. It underwent conservation between 1995 and 1997. The museum has a collection of photographs on the peasant politician and his family, his home village and the folk movement from the 1920s–1940s. The ethnographic collection includes farm equipment, agricultural machinery and tools from the turn of the 20th century, and everyday objects. The historical collections include documents, letters, prints and manuscripts devoted to the activities of Witos and the peasant movement. There are also placards, notices, ordinances, proclamations and leaflets printed by peasant organisations from the inter-war period. Also, identity cards, statutes, minutes, memorial books, chronicles, postcards, and newspapers can be seen there. The burial chapel of Witos, his family and Stanisław Mierzwa, erected around 1943, contains a collection of funeral sashes from the time of Witos' funeral in 1945.

Wincenty Witos (1874–1945)

Born in Wierzchosławice, three-time Prime Minister of the Second Polish Republic, leader of the peasant movement, politician sentenced by a final sentence for activity in an opposition organisation. A poor peasant from Galicia who, through persistence and ambition, became a statesman. Patriot – in deeds, not just in words. A man of extraordinary and above-average devotion to Poland. Equally interesting is the portrait of Witos as a private person.
