The History of the Farmstead
Agluonėnai ethnographic
farmstead is one of the few remaining wooden architectural estates of
Lithuania Minor. It’s a typical farmstead (around 10 ha) of a small
farmer of Klaipėda region. This farmstead consists of numerous
buildings, gardens, yards and decorative elements, which all
reflect the specifics of the region, the lifestyle of local people and
the surrounding environment.
The museum was founded in 1983. Besides, the Agluonėnai
Barn theatre also functions at the stackyard of the farmstead, which
organizes various theatre performances, concerts, exhibitions as
well as community festivals. Since 2006 the Agluonėnai
ethnographic farmhouse has become a branch of Gargždai Area museum.
