Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Museom Village is a traditional village preserved with beautiful nature and old houses, and it is an island-like village on land, as Naeseongcheon Stream flows around three sides of the village. In the past, villagers connected logs to make a bridge and crossed Naeseongcheon Stream to work in the fields on the mainland. During the rainy season, the bridge was swept away by the swollen water, and the villagers rebuilt the bridge every year. Until a water supply bridge was built, the single log bridge served as the only passage to Museom Village, with a length of 150 meters and a width of only 30 centimeters. Due to its narrow width, one must cross it while leaning on a long pole. The current single log bridge is a reproduction of the original bridge that served as the only passage connecting the village and the mainland for over 350 years, restored to its former appearance through the efforts of villagers and emigrants.
Every autumn, the 'Museom Oenamudari Festival' is held here. As a representative cultural festival of the Yeongju region, it is held to inherit and enjoy the fading traditional culture. The event includes various attractions and activities such as a night tour of Museom Village, an autumn concert, traditional house cultural experiences, traditional craft experiences, traditional game experiences, and a reenactment of a traditional wedding.
