The Trevões Museum is located in the village of Trevões, which is part of the municipality of São João da Pesqueira. It is specifically situated at Largo do Adro, number 12, an area that typically occupies a central place in the organization of historic settlements, often near the parish church building or the main square.
This museological space was created to house and safeguard a vast collection of objects, tools, utensils, and other material testimonies that belonged to the daily lives of people who lived and worked in the municipality of São João da Pesqueira. These items were carefully collected and preserved to form the museum's collection, representing various aspects of rural life, ancient professions, domestic customs, and local traditions over time.
Visiting this museum provides direct contact with the history and culture of the people from this Douro region. It is an opportunity to understand their ways of life over time, their struggles, achievements, and the cultural peculiarities that shaped the community's identity. The exhibition invites reflection on the past and an appreciation of local heritage and identity, offering an authentic perspective on who these people are.
