    Its a "living museum" with plenty of occupied homes and residents going about their business, thus if entering unoccupied homes do so discretely.

     History
    Copy and Paste from website listed below, as area is on the World Heritage Tentative List:

    Oeam-ri Folk Village is occupied by the families of its founder Ye-an Lee who settled here about 500 years ago. There are about 86 Giwa houses and straw houses with narrow stone fence alleyways between them. When you walk along the stone fences you can experience the deep tradition roots of the historic village. You can see all kinds of trees in the front yard of the houses, such as persimmon trees, apricot trees, chestnut trees, and gingko trees. At the front entrance to the village you can see the totem pole guardian, and daily artifacts of the Joseon Period (1392-1910) such as treadmills, millstones, water mills, and thatched roof houses. The stone fence roads and Yusil wine add to the traditional atmosphere of the place.

     Future Plans
    Year 20??: Whole Village to be Added to World Heritage List thus more chance of homes being renovated remodeled for tourism focused projects perhaps.
