Walk through Skansen Village in Kolbuszowa

Wladek, Gosia and me … looking like a happy Cheshire cat.

Being with the two of them in Poland has been an absolute joy in my life.

Skansen Village, or the outdoor museum of culture, is not far from where my grandfather lived in Kolbuszowa. There are several of these “created” villages scattered around Poland. They have collected buildings, furniture, equipment, wind mills, and farm animals to create a reproduction 1800’s village which now includes a church, visitors center and a growing assortment of architectural elements. You can walk through, look in windows, enjoy the ducks and goats while getting a first hand look at life in Poland over 100 years ago.

Note: My photos are followed by a link to a YouTube video of Skansen Village which is really worth watching on full screen on a computer.

I hope you’ll be able to explore one of these wonderful attractions yourself one day. If you have already seen it, please leave comments for others.
