Neuviller-La-Roche is located away from the main communication routes and is hardly in the news. Dominated by the beautiful Vosges forest, Neuviller is not lacking in picturesqueness with its houses clinging to the mountain, its narrow streets, the elegant bell tower of its church, an omnipresent witness to village life.
Create a Museum in Neuviller-La-Roche! In what circumstances was this initiative taken? Quite simply during a visit to the Museum of the Cévennes Valleys in 1984, in Saint-Jean-du-Gard. That's when the idea came: why not do the same thing? The idea was launched on my return.
As early as October 17, a core of people interested in this project was formed, and the decision to create the Association was taken, at the same time as the creation of a Museum of Traditions, the aim of which was to not let the past of our village disappear and fade away little by little, for ourselves, and especially for future generations.
