The citizens of Salzungen lived not only from the saltworks and some crafts. Most of them also operated a farm. Thus, 200 years ago there were barns and stables in the city. Horse-drawn wagons and ox carts traveled the barely paved roads. Chickens, geese and goats were part of the street scene. The museum festival will again be a journey through time. Farmers with their animals can be seen, rural activities such as flax processing, broom tying and spinning wool. Countrywomen offer their goods in Kötzen. Of course, the salt boilers are also at work, music and much more awaits the guests.
