Two venues, two addresses
In Yesan, Chungcheongnam-do, the legacy of calligrapher and scholar Kim Jeong-hui (Chusa) can be explored through two connected but distinct sites. Chusa Historic House is at 261 Chusagotaek-ro, Sinam-myeon, Yesan-gun; Chusa Memorial Museum is at 295 Chusagotaek-ro. Check each address separately in navigation apps rather than treating the two venues as one building.
What each place offers
The historic house includes the traditional gate, reception and residential quarters and a shrine. Its architectural setting helps visitors imagine daily life in Chusa's era. The museum presents the scholar's life, calligraphy and learning through its exhibitions. The operator also lists optional activities such as practicing Chusa-style calligraphy, painting orchids and making rubbings. These may require separate bookings and fees and should not be confused with the free standard visit.
Hours change in November
The official guidance gives 09:00–18:00 from March to October and 09:00–17:00 from November to February for both venues. They close Mondays, or the following day if Monday is a public holiday, and on January 1, Lunar New Year day and Chuseok day. Admission and parking are free for regular visits. The historic-house visitor guide lists 041-339-8248 for operating information and 041-339-8247 for guided interpretation reservations.
Plan the route
Start with the historic buildings and then explore Chusa's work and scholarship in the museum, or reverse the order to fit your interests. The county's heritage map also lists Chusa's grave and the Princess Hwasun memorial gate, but access to other sites should be checked individually. Verify temporary closures and any activity reservations on the official operator site.
