The museum was founded in 1995 in the center of town as a modern building divided into four rooms. The first floor contains precious objects, rare pictures, and documents donated by town residents, while other rooms exhibit the history of Thrace and traditional clothes. Located on Democracy Avenue near a bus station, fun fair, and lighthouse, the museum organizes educational activities for students and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:30 to 14:30 with admission costs of 2 euros for adults and 1 euro for students and soldiers.
