Origin and history

The Musée du Patrimoine Rural au Donjon is a monument located in the municipality of Donjon, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This place is specifically dedicated to the exploitation of rural traditions, tools and lifestyles, although the available archives do not specify the exact period of its foundation or development. Rural museums, such as the Donjon, play a key role in transmitting the collective memory of the territories.

In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a region marked by a strong agricultural and craft identity, these spaces allow us to understand the evolution of local practices, know-how and social organization of peasant communities throughout the centuries. Their existence often reflects a desire to preserve an inheritance threatened by economic and cultural transformations.
