The Gerbore museum is located within the “Maison de la Tôr”, a historical building mentioned in a document from 1768, which hosts from time immemorial the bread oven and the dairy for the village families.
The exhibition “L’epoca dei Pionieri” (The age of pioneers), prepared by the “Fondation Joseph Gerbore” in the typical architectural backdrop, shows around fifty agricultural machines dating back to the 1950s. In addition to the interesting technical aspects, emphasis is placed on the social and economic impact caused by the arrival of the engine to the countryside (the revolution introduced by the mowing machine is the most emblematic example).
Note - this information is not directly connected to the Cammino Balteo path but it is part of the Aosta Valley tourist offer.
