Located in Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, the Gapyeong-gun Woodcraft Agricultural Cooperative was established with the purpose of effectively utilizing the region's abundant timber resources, generating income for local residents, and promoting regional specialization. On a vast site of 9,960㎡, the cooperative complex, consisting of an exhibition hall and a work building, was completed in 2004 and is currently in operation.
