Forgotten tools and trades
Carding combs, spinning wheels, shuttles, steam engines... the tools used by textile workers in the past... Spinners, weavers, warpers, drapers... so many traditional trades that have almost disappeared and can be rediscovered in the museum.
In the footsteps of local history...
Closely linked to the history of the textile industry, the history of the men and women of the region is brought to life on the first floor of the museum, through the exhibition of archaeological remains, objects and documents from different periods. From prehistory to the 20th century, all aspects of local life are evoked: from the foundation of the village to the seigniory of Deux-Ponts, from the presence of the castle to the religious history, to end with the cultural life and the social mix between the 19th and 20th centuries.
