The real estate that is home to the historically furnished house was purchased in 1933 to be used as a doctor's office and Dr. Ferenc Fábián began his practice there in 1939 as the first physician to actually reside in the village. The house also functioned as the doctor's residential home. Lászlóné Kertai, a teacher, began the collection of the village's historical objects in the 1980s with the enthusiastic help of her students. The ethnographic exhibition showcases the tools of farmwork and fishing once used in the village, the objects of religious life, the old rural kitchen and the so-called „clean room” (This was a room of the house that was kept furnished, but unused and always clean. The room was religious in nature and often included an altar. The “clean room” was used for important occasions, such as weddings and wakes.) Apart from the historical objects, visitors can view many interesting written records and photographic materials.

The aim of the Village Museum is to present local cultural and historical traditions to the visitor. Its kitchen, which includes a furnace, allows you a peek into the gastronomical traditions of old, such as preparing food in a furnace and baking bread. You can taste traditional village fare as well as the characteristic dishes of the Rábaköz region. Three exhibition rooms showcase collections of tradition tools. You can see local products as here as well and take part in traditional programs that show visitors the ins and outs of trades that are disappearing today. To honor the person and the work of the former owner of the historically furnished house, it is named for Dr. Ferenc Fábián who was the first local doctor residing in the municipality.
