About
Oeam Folk Village is designated as a National Folk Cultural Heritage. The village took shape about 500 years ago, and thanks to its good site it was selected as one of Korea's 10 good places to live.
Residents have farmed for generations while keeping their traditions alive, and they offer visitors a variety of sights and hands-on activities. Each year the village holds a Jangseung ritual in the first lunar month, the Straw and Grass Culture Festival in October, and a Winter Solstice event in November.
In front of the village stands Jeojatgeori, a Joseon-era market street where visitors can enjoy food and performances.
