Until the last decades, fishing was very important in the life of the town. The anglers lived in an area called 'inner town'. The sailors of the Tisza, ship builders, and the construction laborers who owned no land or only a small vineyard also lived there.

The valley of the river Tisza is a real wild water country. Despite of this, or for this, it was populated in the ancient times as well as the period of the original settlement. The colonies were mainly organized around the flood free areas. Still, the people living there had to protect themselves against water which is why they built embankments.

The first attempts to school the children living in the fringes of the South of the Great Planes took place in the 1840's. First, the journeymen and the soldiers thought the kids to read and count in a room of a homestead.

On the site beside the horse court we set out to represent the history of the races of the Euro-Asian plains, and all this through archeological relics and ethnographic parallels. Before the Hungarian settlement Huns were one of the nomadic peoples of the region, who changed their life-style in the 10-11th centuries. This change could first of all be put down to the special geographic advantages of the Carpathian Basin.

The year 1896 is not only the time of the birth of the Feszty-Cyclorama but also the time of the heydays of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. This was the period when the development of the Hungarian economy was extremely spectacular. The 'promenade' was the walk of the towns of the time. The social life, the holidays, and the weekdays were spent there. Business relationships, social life, and entertainment found their way of expression on the walks.

In the outskirts of Hódmezővásárhely 66 reading groups functioned at the beginning of the 20th century. The reading Association of Pusztafeketehalom founded in December 1890 was one of these.

The local railways enmeshed the area of the Great Plane in 1890 but there was non in the area between Tisza and the Danube. To fill this deficiency the minister of transport initiated the building of roads in 1893. Three roads were built.

The small shops and the bakeries were necessary part of the people of the villages and county towns. They were also important part of the sight of the settlements.

Among the towns of the beginning of the 20th century, Szeged had the largest population living in homesteads surrounding the town. In 1930 over 45 000 people lived in 10 000 homesteads of 10-15 acres around Szeged. The homestead we present at our exhibition, the placement and characteristics of the buildings was significant at the turn of the 19-20th centuries. The premises of the house followed the room-kitchen-room-chamber order.

According to a tradesman, Szeged was placed on the map in because of its paprika. The paprika originated in Middle America. In Hungary it became acclimatized in the second half of the 16th century, but was used as a grocery only in the second half of the 19th century. Professionalism, diligence, and the conjecture made the paprika producers the most bourgeois layer of society in Szeged.
