To us, "new" and young Israelis, it is sometimes difficult to imagine what our ancestors needed to go through in order to establish such developed and nice country in such a hurry, in this harsh environment with conflicted neighbors. There isn’t a better way of knowing what it was like than touch, experience and hear from firsthand the stories, legends and facts.

The Farmers' House of Metula is an ancient genuine 1896th house. Excluding minor preserving it is loyal to its original shape and holds many layers of history and unbelievable stories. In fact, if it wasn’t for Metula and Yesod HaMala, the entire Galilee Panhandle wasn’t included within the Israeli borders. The international border is set only 30 meters away the last house of Metula and if it wasn’t for this house we wouldn’t hold the sources of the Jordan River, Dan Springs and Hatzbani Stream.

All over the museums' rooms we'll found artifacts collected from Metula's elderly people throughout the times, which demonstrate life before the age of computers, televisions and even radio. Each and every item has its own fascinating story, a story that can interest children as well as elders. Around the museums' yard you'll find agricultural and working tools, that where in use during the times, all genuine and original. The third part of the museum includes articles, photographs and maps describing the history of Metula. Aside these you'll find juicy gossip that tells us that even the settling heroes were fun people.

The museum is operated by Nessya, who is a direct part of the history of Metula. Except the time she spent in university, Nessya hasn’t left Metula and even her great-grandfather is buried there. Nessya knows every story and every step of Metula, every corner is a tale and every item reminds her story she heard or experienced. Nessya tells the story of her family and Metula with funny anecdotes that fascinate children and grownups. The entrance fee is symbolic. The museum is open for the audience everyday during the weekdays but during the weekends only by calling in advance.

If you consider yourselves as Israel lovers and travelers you must visit Nessya at The Farmers' House because some stories must go on.
