OPEN MUSEUM OF THE RURAL LIFE OF OSSA
After persistent, concrete and coordinated actions of the club, an action plan entitled "Open Museum of Rural Life of Ossa" was developed. In this context, the association has proceeded to create three visitable cultural sites in the traditional settlement of Ossa and specifically: a) Ossa 's Folk Collection (2016), b) The Old Grocery (2018) and c) The Old Tsagaradiko (2019).
The "Open Museum of Rural Life of Ossa" is a developing project. The Old Tsagkaradiko is the precursor "The Shomaker 's House", the first and only multimedia showroom for the systematic recording of the shoemaking history in Greece, with main reference to the settlement of Ossa!
