Jaana: The Sailor's Home Museum is located in the oldest wooden building in Oulu. In the past it served as a Southern Customs Office, but now it's been furnished with items typical for a late 1800s sailor's home.
Kia: The Skye Museum of Island Life is a fascinating village of thatched cottages, showing how people would have lived on Skye at the close of the nineteenth century. Note the thatched roof held down with a net weighted with large stones as a protection against high winds and stormy weather.

DeleteOld buildings are so charming, if they only could talk they'd have some captivating stories to tell for sure. :)
