Donghak Agricultural Revolution Memorial Hall
Although ¡°Kabo Donghak Agricultural Revolution¡± that had started
from an uprising of the peasants in Gobu in January of 1894 failed
with thousands of victims, it is considered as an uprising that
had shaped the modern history of Korea. The revolution was
also the biggest resistance of the mass in Korean history that had
tried to abolish the feudal system and to fight against the foreign
invasion.
The Exhibition Hall was built as Korean traditional thatched
cottage. There are offices, supply office, 1st floor exhibition
room, 2nd floor exhibition room and planned exhibition hall. It
is used to heighten the spirit and understanding of Donghak Agricultural
Revolution.
