The Community History Collection at Kossuth Lajos utca 49 (Kõszeg Történeti Gyûjtemény), daily 10 am to 6 pm, closed Dec and Jan. 150 HUF entrance fee. This is a 10-minute walk up the road past Hõsök tere, on the left of the main road. It re-creates a 19th-century German commoner's kitchen and main room, as well as a Serbian commoner's kitchen and main room. The attendant speaks a little English.
The ancient enamel stoves served double duty as boilers, and they each have a hot water tap on the side. Some archeological finds from the area are to the left of the entrance. The Swabian community (German) that was once here was mostly deported back to Germany after WWII.
(Once again the specter of history rears its head, touching all the lives of Hungary in that hectic mix of Magyar and German and Serbian and Slav.) It is only in the last 10 years that the community has overcome the painful memories, and reaches out to family connections once again.
