Founded on the grounds of St. Fagans Castle, near Cardiff, this open air museum documents the social history of Wales. Opened to the public in 1948, St.Fagans has recreated scenes from Wales’s past creating scenes of a Celtic village, a mill, a village schoolhouse, a cockpit and chapel, most of which have been transported, piece by piece from all over Wales.
