Musées départementaux de la Haute-Saône

The Musée départemental de la Haute-Saône spreads across several historic buildings containing collections focused on regional art, archaeological finds, and local traditions. The display rooms feature furniture, tools, and household items that document how people lived and worked in this area.

The institution was founded in 1957, driven by the collecting efforts of Albert and Félicie Demard from the local area. This period coincided with major transformations as rural life in the region was rapidly reshaping due to technological and agricultural changes.

The collection displays everyday objects and traditional crafts that reflect how people in this region lived and worked over time. You can see how households and workshops were organized in daily routines.

The collection is spread across multiple locations around Champlitte, so walking through town allows you to see all the buildings naturally. Having a map or asking for directions helps you move between the different exhibition spaces without getting lost.

The museum preserves fully equipped rooms showing how craftsmanship shifted from hand tools to powered equipment over time. These are not recreations but actual spaces that document the exact moment when traditional work methods gave way to modern technology.
