    Winter War Museum Raatteen Portti image
    This museum is definitely worth the visit!! I strongly recommend you review some of the history of the Winter War (1939-40) and the Russian invasion with two full Divisions against a few hundred Finn soldiers, Border Guards, and Reserves who managed to stop the Russians cold! The museum has a battle display showing the action of the Ratte Road fight and uniforms and weapons of the combatants. It has excellent and very professional displays and is awe inspiring to think about what happened here the winter of 1939. The display of the tribute outside the museum is also sobering. It has 17 acres of stones on the ground representing the number of soldiers on both sides who died in this battle of Suomussalmi and Raatte Road. The history of this Winter War tends to be lost in the subsequent world conflict of World War II, but the bravery of the participants on both sides of this battle must never be forgotten. See more..

    Very interesting museum about local history, sectioned according to different themes (wartime, nature etc.). Log floating and tar production seemed indeed to be big themes in the area, and the museum even displays a documentary on how tar used to be made. Art exhibition upstairs. Would reserve 2 hours or more for seeing the whole place. Signs in both Finnish and English. See more..

    Suomussalmen rannasta 20 minuuttia Turjanlinnaan laivalla, kohteessa ja laivassakin erinomainen opastus. Faktatietoa ja mukavia anekdootteja Iki-Kiannosta, satuja ja Nälkämaan laulu. Kaunis luonto. Lämmin suositus! See more..

    Nätti heinäkuinen kesäpäivä ja mikäs sen parempaa kuin lähteä paremmin tutustumaan tähän mielenkiintoiseen museoon. Paikalla kun olimme, niin olimme koko sen ajan ainoat vieraat paikalla. Oppaalla oli aikaa kertoa rauhassa historiasta. Ja muutenkin oli todella paljon nähtävää päätalossa kuin ulkorakennuksissa. Ja lapsen parhautta oli se, kun neljä pässiä oli aitauksessa ja ne olivat tulleet kesäksi Pelson vankilasta. Mielenkiintoinen kohde, jossa aika menee hujauksessa ja sopii kaiken ikäisille vauvasta vaariin. :) See more..
