The Folklore Museum and the Agricultural Museum at Boni’s windmill aren’t interchangeable — one covers domestic and maritime objects, the other food production. Visited together, they trace a line from household life to how the island fed itself.
The collections
- The Folklore Museum holds domestic, maritime and everyday objects that illustrate island life across generations.
- The Agricultural Museum, centered on Boni’s windmill, focuses on grain milling and food production specifically.
Boni’s windmill
- The mill itself demonstrates the mechanics of wind-powered grain processing, complementing the Kato Myli group’s more famous silhouette with functional detail.
Seasonal and annual events
- Both museums may host occasional seasonal events tied to the municipal cultural calendar; check current listings before planning a visit around one.
A combined route
- Visit both sites in sequence for a compact half-hour-to-hour route that connects domestic life with the food systems behind it.
Why small museums matter here
- Together with Lena’s House and the maritime museum, these collections round out Chora beyond its waterfront image with specific, tangible island history.
