Casa do Lavrador is a rural and ethnographic museum that integrates the Cultural and Recreational Association of Santa Cruz do Douro.

The House of the Farmer faithfully depicts the peasant's house from the 16th century. XIX and beginning of the century. XX, both externally and internally. This is no more than an authentic space that does not miss out on any feast or important day of the year, as tradition dictated.
