The Buchenberg village museum is located in the former town hall opposite the new Buchenberg village church built in 1902.
In particular, the crafts practised in the past such as glass blowing, carving, weaving, pottery and watchmaking are on display.
The past is documented in the village museum by stone axes, shards and replicas of the Horgen culture, but also by fragments of Buchenberg forest glass (around 1500) and objects from other Black Forest glassworks as well as the presentation of local crafts such as carving, weaving and the art of clockmaking.
In addition to the outstanding medieval carving of the "Buchenberger Herrgöttle", two communion chalices (from 1615 and later) are on display.
An extraordinary collection of Black Forest alarm clocks and sign clocks, documents from local clock face painters (baptismal letters, etc.) show the richness of the village's past.
Works by the Buchenberg artist Otto Leiber, who is known far beyond the region as a pupil of Thoma, and paintings by Mechthild Weitbrecht are honoured in a permanent exhibition.
Thematic special exhibitions round off the exhibition concept of the Buchenberg village museum.
The village museum was founded in 1989 on the initiative of the Buchenberg History Association and is run with great dedication.
