The Farmer’s Museum of Frascarolo was opened on the 15th of June 2002 inside the structure of the ancient agricultural court of the Frascarolo Castle. The rooms were changed, while their identity remains intact with the watering devices for animals still in place, to adapt to the initial idea: the creation of three separate units dedicated to the house, the trades and the land, along with all the relative objects.
In the House there are the objects of everyday life, the most common and the rare and complex ones: here we can find coffee grinders, flatirons working with coal, iceboxes, hand-cranked and pedal sawing machines, old radios, wooden hammers (wood is always fast to disappear), but also castors, corkscrews, the “priest” (“the only thing that warms the bed without sinning!”), the molds for butter, the bellow to powder wigs and many other objects.
Among the Trades we can find the blacksmith, the carpenter, the mason, the shoemaker, the boatman, the chimney sweeper, the blacksmiths’ anvil, the carpenters’ planer, the merchants’ scales, the boatman’s boat and paddles, animal traps and many other things.
In the Land there are all the tools and utensils used for the farming and the harvest, from the carts to the ploughs, from the yokes to the scythes and rakes, as well as all the big and small tools used back then, aside from the beds in burlap sacks used by the mondariso.
