TO RESCUE FROM OBLIVION AND DESTRUCTION
The owner of the Draminski company says:
Nearby my company, DRAMINSKI-Electronics in Agriculture from
Olsztyn
which manufactures electronic devices
for farmers, breeders and vets, I have set up The Agricultural
Machinery Skansen Museum. The museum holds many machines, devices
and tools used in agriculture, farming, flour-milling and smithing i.e. everything that was used in the country many or even a hundred years ago.
I have done it following my heart and out of great respect for farmers'
toil but also because my whole family comes from the country: my grandparents,
parents, aunts, uncles, and siblings. For many years, I myself, although
brought up in the city, used to spent holidays in the country, tending flock,
removing dung from the piggery, sheafing at harvest time, and riding horse
rake. Thus, I saw how hard farmers worked. Even now they have it difficult.
I have done it also because this machinery, equipment and tools, being the
work of several generations now bygone, unnoticeably disappear, rot, rust,
are often burned or scrapped.
