Museums

There are two fascinating and interesting museums in Juupajoki. The Koskenjala Shoe and Leather Museum and the Kallenautio Inn Museum. Both of these museums are run and maintained by local associations.

Kallenautio historical Inn Museum

Kallenautio started functioning as an inn in 1778. It offered accommodation also for many dignitaries of that time, like author Zachris Topelius. The inn stopped operating in 1928 when cars became common.

The museum is situated by the road 66 on its original location in Juupajoki. There is also a gift shop selling handicrafts and quality art exhibitions. In Kallenautio you can find also a popular domestic animal farm.
