History in objects
If it is possible to create a collection of mutual experiences gained over the years, culture, customs, agricultural tools, photos, historical objects that have been collected in one place, it is the Open-air museum of the village of Nowosiółki and the Ethnographic Farm in Wasylów.
The open-air museum was established on the initiative of Sołtys Daniel Pawłowski, who, passionate about the history and culture of the Grzęda Sokalska region and the vicinity of Roztocze, decided to expand his own collection of household items used from the beginning of the 20th century in the countryside. Thanks to many donors of historical exhibits, nowadays in the open-air museum you can see what the work in the forge looked like, because in the museum's collection there is a large collection of original tools for heating and forging metal. The resource also includes a wide collection of kitchen items, including butter dishes, centrifuges, scales, sugar bowls and others that cannot be replaced due to the large amount.

Wasylów - a village rich in tradition!
Wasylów is a village adjacent to Nowosiółki, located on Grzędzie Sokalska, where there is an ethnographic farm from the 40s of the 20th century. The farm includes a residential building made of oak wood that once belonged to Maria and Stanisław Pawłowski. Inside there is a tiled stove on which traditional dishes for the Lublin region are prepared and original home furnishings with beds, a wardrobe, carpets, a table and chandeliers. In the room, which is a bedroom for children, a photo exhibition was made devoted to the town and its former owners.
The farm also includes a former cattle and horse barn with a chicken coop and a summer kitchen. Everything is made of cinder blocks and red brick. The largest building is a barn with a cellar for preserves and vegetables. In the middle there is a well consisting of more than 15 concrete rings.
The farm is located towards the springs of the Kmiczynka river, which begins its course along the entire western part of Grzęda Sokalska.
The Ethnographic Farm in Wasylów hosts regular events such as Harvest or Autumn Picnic with mushroom picking in the nearby forest.
The farm is open to everyone who wants to learn about our tradition and experience rural peace.
