Ankkapurha Industrial Museum

The Ankkapurha Industrial Museum presents the working and living conditions of the staff of the current Stora Enso Anjalankoski mills and the development of the forest industry over 150 years.

Ankkapurha’s first wood mill was built in Lohisaari in 1872. The Ankkapurha Industrial Museum is now housed in the old cardboard factory on the same site, showing the working and living conditions of the staff and the development of the industry over 150 years. The core and most valuable feature of the museum is Finland’s first continuously operating cardboard machine, which started up in 1897 and was finally shut down in 1978. The museum house Varpunen, which shows the living conditions of the working population, is also located near the museum. The site was opened as a museum in 1997.
