The Ethnographic Farm is a folklore gem, overflowing with the cultural heritage of the Miejsce Piastowe Commune, which naturally reveals the pages of the past. This nearly century-old home offers a genuine taste and touch of everything that has shaped our identity. Guided by the words: "By taking care of the past, we take care of the future of our generations," we preserve and pass on our heritage and cultural values. The collected everyday objects, farming tools, accessories, and details create a cohesive showcase of this place. During a tour of the rural home, blacksmith shop, and mill, the curator supplements the material heritage with what is equally important – legends, folk beliefs, and customs.
Besides the residential house, the site features a still-operating blacksmith shop and a mill. In the blacksmith shop, you can see its full equipment, and with prior notice, you can observe the blacksmith at work. The mill houses the main device – a working windmill that rotates with the wind's force and grinds grain. Inside, there are also hand-operated millstones, allowing us to briefly become real millers and create flour with our own hands.
Visiting Information:

Additional Information:
It is possible to explore the Ethnographic Farm and accompanying facilities through a virtual tour. This is a response to the need to transfer the Rogi attraction to the internet without losing any of its features. The virtual tour is available in two languages, is adapted for people with disabilities (narrator, changing graphics, larger font), and includes descriptions of objects, beliefs, and symbols related to Polish villages. A total of 54 panoramas, day, night, and drone shots in HDR quality and immersive power, transport you to the magical atmosphere of this place. Additionally, you can watch short videos of the blacksmith, miller, and artisans at work. This is a true online journey, a feast for the eyes and ears, where the treasures of history are hidden. The virtual tour is available at: https://gminnecentrum.pl/spacer-wirtualny/. The panoramas are also adapted for VR goggles, in 360 degrees.
The second educational channel, proposed to younger fans of folk culture, is a specially dedicated, themed, and bilingual panoramic game. Its main goal is to explore the equipment, terrain, and surroundings of the Farm, and to provide incredible entertainment. It will allow children and young people to integrate faster with the facility, and by collecting points, searching for objects, collecting interactive elements, trophies, and building gentle relationships through an appropriate form of tasks, this proposal will be fully intelligent entertainment. The game’s story is woven into the history of the place, enhanced by incredibly created storytelling, as well as obstacles, twists and turns, and riddles, whose solution requires ingenuity and engagement from the player. The thematic game is available at: https://gminnecentrum.pl/gra
At the Ethnographic Farm, you can purchase books, primarily related to Rogi village, the region, folk beliefs, attractions, guidebooks, albums, and a unique publication – "Rogowskie pogaduchy, czyli słownik rogowsko-polski".
