Wierzchosławice is inextricably linked with Wincenty Witos. The most famous leader of the peasant movement and the Prime Minister of the Second Polish Republic born and spent his childhood there.
The Wincenty Witos Museum consists of two homesteads situated in a distance of five hundred meters each other – “Old House“ and “New Farmhouse”.
“Old House” is a 200-year-old peasant cottage with a thatched roof, the place of birth and childhood of Witos. On the other hand, “New House” consists of five wooden buildings (a residential house, a stable, two barns and a basement), covered with tiles and arranged on a square plan.
The house has a kitchen with a bread oven, a hall, Witos’ office with his desk and souvenirs, a room where Witos’s daughter lived with her husband, and a room for the mistress of the house, Wincenty Witos’s wife.
In the Large Barn, agricultural items and tools used from the second half of the nineteenth century were collected, while in the Small Barn, historical folk banners and several other exhibits such as harvest wreaths are presented.
