The museum is located in the Haus beim Brunnen, a Lucerne "Tätschhaus" dating back to the 17th century. The last sturgeon shoemaker in Root, Josef Stücheli (1892 - 1967), lived and worked in part of the house together with his wife and 11 children. A large part of his estate has been preserved and tells of a world characterized by poverty and deprivation, but also the world of an independent craftsman. Other focal points in the museum are the exhibitions Root through the ages (photo exhibition), the history of the Root inns and the history of the Friedheim house (Schniderlilonzi) and much more from Root's past. There is also a collection of interviews with contemporary witnesses on DVD, which can be viewed in the museum.
