Kittilä Local History Museum

Kittilän kotiseutumuseo

An open-air museum on the banks of the Ounasjoki River, preserving 18th- and 19th-century Lapland farm buildings and everyday tools.

The Kittilä Local History Museum is an open-air museum on a hillside by the Ounasjoki River, on the east side of Kittilä town. Several 18th- and 19th-century Lapland buildings have been moved here and preserved, including the main house Vaaranmikkola, a barn, a sauna and a storehouse. The museum shows local farming and reindeer herding life. It is small and usually open only in summer, with low admission fees. It pairs well with a visit to Kittilä Church.
