Kollola Heritage House
Kollola Heritage House is a former crofter’s cottage from the Isotalo farm in Järvensuu village, Merimasku, redeemed as an independent property in the 1920s. It is located near Lake Taattistenjärvi, along the old road from Merimasku to Rymättylä.
Information about Kollola Heritage House
Parish records indicate the cottage has stood on the site since at least 1721. In addition to the main building, the property includes a sauna and a whitewashed barn. The yard is a cozy old-style garden with apple trees, currant bushes, midsummer roses and lilacs.
The cottage has been preserved as it was left by its last residents, Anna and Sakkeus Tuominen, in the late 1980s. Their belongings form the core exhibition today. The heritage house also features, among other items, Merimasku’s first telephone exchange, which operated here until 1945.
