Visitors can observe traditional crafts including blacksmithing, pottery, weaving, and woodcarving in active, operational studios. The grounds host a large operating windmill, which is a rare surviving example of wooden milling technology in the region. The museum maintains a functional distillery producing traditional local moonshine according to historical recipes. A small farmstead area features a stable, a petting zoo with various domestic animals, and an ostrich enclosure.
