The most valuable monuments of wooden architecture from the 18th and 19th centuries are gathered in the park.

The open-air museum presents objects in natural settlement complexes,  fragments of villages in which the farms, which were the farmer's workshop, were adjacent to the facilities of the rural industry such as a mill,   a windmill, and a smithy.  Thanks to this, it is possible to get to know the realities of former rural life as well as industry and crafts. One of the most valuable buildings is the church of the Holy Mary of Consolation Church from Rogów from 1761 with interior furnishings and rich polychrome on the ceiling,house of a shoemaker from Daleszyce from 1892 with interiors  from the interwar period and an exhibition of a shoemaker's workshop, a cottage from Rokitno from 1805 with residential interiors from the 20-30s of the twentieth century, a small manor house from Suchedniów with a presentation of residential interiors from the end of the 19th century or a circular farm from Radkowice, which includes a  cottage from 1862 with residential interiors, a granary with a shelter, a cowshed with a chaff-cutter, pigsties and henhouses, a cellar and a barn. In the season, many interesting outdoor events take place here.
