On over 90 hectares, more than 100 fully furnished buildings from all landscapes of Westphalia show 500 years of rural life. Horse-drawn carriages run between the entrance area and the "Paderborn village". Three pubs on the museum grounds invite visitors to stop for refreshments. Old crafts such as flour milling, blacksmithing and pottery are demonstrated daily. The museum also offers themed tours.
