This facility originally opened as the Tanno Town Historical Museum in May 1983, but it was renamed the Kitami City Tanno Town Historical Museum following a municipal merger in March 2006. The facility has about 800 exhibits, including materials on farmer-soldiers (in the 1st Company of the 4th Battalion) who settled in what was the Notsukeushi area in 1897 and 1898 and who laid the foundations for land reclamation in Tanno Town of today’s Kitami City. Exhibits also include farm equipment used during the pioneering days, and approximately 800 stone tools and pottery used by people living about 10,000 years ago. The museum staff look forward to your visit.
