Why it matters now

From November, plan for the city's listed winter closing time of 17:00 rather than 18:00. Mondays, Jan 1, Lunar New Year and Chuseok Day are closures. The October 2026 literature festival has ended and is not a current programme.

Why go

Visit the restored house and exhibitions, then continue separately to Sille Story Trail or the preserved old Kim You-jeong Station. City's page lists KRW 2,000 general admission and KRW 1,500 per person for groups of 30 or more. Accessibility features are listed, but companion assistance may be necessary; check individual needs.
