Crowdfunding – Restoration of the roof at the Arces-de-Morteau farm
The collection houses are the very reason for this museum’s existence, and are carefully tended to every day by the museum’s conservation team. Some of the museum’s houses were reassembled on the site more than thirty years ago and are now in need of restoration. In 2021, the iconic “ferme à tuyé” from the Val de Morteau is the center of attention. The western section of its roof, made of tavaillons (small spruce shingles), which has been severely damaged by successive droughts, heavy rains, and hailstorms, must be completely rebuilt. To this end, the museum has enlisted the help of a traditional local carpenter, Mr. Romain Poulet, one of the few who still crafts these famous tavaillons.
