Opening hours and Fares

The original railway started operation in 1898 and the last freight train ran on the Jokioinen Railway on the 31st of March 1974 from Humppila to Forssa. The track between Jokioinen and Forssa was then pulled up. The museum railway has operated between Jokioinen and Minkiö since 1971, using the original carriages and steam engines. The line between Minkiö and Humppila was also lost in 1975. However, in 1994, this 8-kilometre, 750-mm-wide narrow gauge track was rebuilt and the length of the line is now 14 km.

The Parsonage Museum

The provincial governor E. G. von Willebrand built the parsonage out of clay and straw in 1800, but it had to be covered immediately with bricks because the materials could not survive the Finnish weather. The museum preserves evidence of the ways of life in a country vicarage in the mid-1800s. The collections also include mementos of Miina Sillanpää’s life and pharmacy equipment from the 1800s.
