On opening the museum in 1992, the "Amis du Patrimoine de Plougastel” (Plougastel Heritage Society) was set on bringing new life to the traditions of the peninsula and making a name for the small red fruit for which the town is famous: the strawberry. At the museum you can discover the wonderful saga from the 13th century to the present day, as well as all the treasures of the peninsula.
