When the building was put up is not known for certain, though it is known to have been built at the beginning of the 1900s by the mayor Memiş Ağa as a dressing house. Such a house is thought to have served much the purpose of a dispensary.
The woodwork of the building is what draws the eye. On the front are two round-arched doors side by side, and on each of the two side walls a tall rectangular window with a triangular pediment above it. The roof is hipped and of wood, covered with pantiles.
The building was restored in the manner of the old Turkish house and opened as a museum in 2001. What is shown here are ethnographic works and objects belonging to Söğüt and its surroundings and to the nomadic Yörük people living in the country around.
The museum also holds a banner, old clothing and dress, handwoven kilims and carpets, weapons, measures and scales, towels and purses, and archaeological material: coins of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods and Roman earthenware.
