Intro
The museum presents the highlights of local history, while at the same time challenging visitors to think about the present, and revisiting some of the clichés that typify Saxony's identity.
The museum presents the highlights of local history, while at the same time calling visitors to the present and revisiting some of the clichés that characterize Saxon's identity. The collections reveal some of the lesser-known aspects, such as the importance of foreign personalities in the development of the village, or its political demands... The highlights developed in Saxon are: Key dates from prehistoric times to the present day. Saxon, capital of gambling and pleasure, with its baths and casino. The apricot, its cultivation and industrialization. The 1953 peasant revolt, the "Fluorine War". The agricultural ideal and its many developments. The Saxon bisse, the longest in the Valais. Reconstruction of Robert Mayencourt's forge. The Saxon Museum is aimed at a varied public. A site of discovery and reflection, it satisfies the curiosity of schoolchildren, locals and tourists alike.
