The DampfLandLeute Museum Eslohe covers over 2,000 square meters and is dedicated to the historical use of water and fire energy. A primary focus is on iron processing in the Sauerland region as well as a folklore and cultural history section. The exhibition also presents historical power engines and the development of agriculture. At the original site of a former factory in the Salweytal valley, it provides insights into the working methods of the small iron industry, with the focus on former commercial enterprises such as iron hammers and chainsmiths. The tour includes comprehensive agricultural documentation on the transformation "From manual labor to machine" as well as a collection of historical power machines, including two steam engines of particular historical significance. The museum illustrates the interplay between early industry and the rural environment and the associated economic and living conditions. Visitors can experience the steam engines, some of which are 150 years old, in operation during special demonstrations. Outside of these events, the technology is explained using multimedia and with in-depth information on the history and operation of the steam engines. The DampfLandLeute Museum Eslohe is part of the Hochsauerland museum landscape and the industrial culture of South Westphalia. The outdoor area of the museum has also been designated as a Sauerland Soul Place.
