Log drivers' cabin and heritage area
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet country road in Evijärvi, this place feels like stepping right into the heart of old Finland. The main draw is the original log driver's cabin, a humble little building that was once home to the tough men who guided timber down the rivers. You can almost hear the crackle of a fire and smell the pine tar as you poke around inside. The surrounding heritage area brings their story to life with tools and equipment scattered about, giving you a real sense of how these men lived and worked.
Collection Highlights
The fully furnished cabin itself is the star, complete with a simple stove and bunk beds. Outside, you'll find authentic log floating equipment like pike poles and caulked boots, plus displays explaining the entire river driving process.
Visitor Information
It's located at Uittomiehentie in Evijärvi, but being a smaller site, it's always a good idea to check for open hours online before you make the trip.
Architecture & Building
A rustic, dark-stained wooden cabin with a steeply pitched roof—classic Finnish vernacular architecture built purely for function and shelter.
