Anonymus - whose statue is seen in the memorial park - wrote the book Gesta Hungarorum, according to which the leaders of the Hungarian tribes camped in this region for 34 days in order to determine the inner order of the new country. That is why the general public think of this place as the scene of the first parliament of the settlers.

To fill this deficiency the minister of transport initiated the building of roads in 1893. Three roads were built. One of them was the 301 kms long road of Baja-Félegyháza-Csongrád- Békéscsaba-Erdőhegy.

Community House

The village hall was the headquarters of the delegates and leadership. Usually it was built in the middle of the village, close to the church. The village hall of Tömörkény built in 1895-96 was moved over to the open air collection. The eclectic building was partly built in the Classicist style characteristic at the end of the 19th century. By this building, the skanzen has a more county town quality.
