Old Mill Village Museum Wilderswil

Wilderswil was first mentioned in 1224. This is documented in a document kept in the State Archives of the Canton of Bern. A copy of this document can be viewed in the new exhibition at the village museum.

Last year's anniversary exhibition is dedicated to topics that were relevant in the past and/or are relevant today: Wilderswil in the Middle Ages, heraldic animal & burgher, alpine economy, emigration, tourism, present & future.

Further milestones in the long history of Wilderswil were recorded by the former teacher and village chronicler Hans Ulrich Grossniklaus. They can be found in his book Wilderswil - History and Folklore and in the booklet accompanying the anniversary exhibition.

The exhibition team of the Heimatvereinigung Wilderswil und Umgebung (HVW) does not intend to present a complete chronicle of the past centuries. The team has selected several concise past and current themes. The team is looking forward to presenting these to visitors.
