Turkansaari

Set across two river islands on the scenic Oulujoki, this open-air museum is a collection of wooden buildings of various traditional types, from loggers’ cabins to stables, and includes a handsome traditional farmhouse. The 1694 church is an original from this former trading settlement; look for the faded date carved above the inside doorway. A working tar-pit at the far end of the complex comes to the fore during Tar-Burning Week, a festival in late June.
