Overview

Ojukheon House, a Treasure, is an important house which shows the lifestyle and architectual style of the early Joseon dynasty. It is one of the oldest preserved Korean houses. Yulgok Yi-I, one of Korea's most noted scholars, was born here to Sin Saimdang. In rememberance of his birth, the Yulgok Festival is held annually at Ojukheon. There are many traditional materials and regional remains which are displayed in the private museum. A painting of Yulgok is hanging in Munseongsa (the ancestral shrine of Yulgok). More artwork by the Yulgok family are on display in the Yulgok Memorial Hall. In addition, various Buddhist artwork, ceramics, pictures and common living appliances are on display in the Folk Tradition Hall, History Culture Hall, and the outdoor exhibition area.
