Kim Man-il's horse donations and Jeju's livestock-raising culture

Heonma Gongsin is described as a title for a subject who rendered distinguished service by donating horses. Kim Man-il's story offers a view of Jeju horses beyond tourist activities, connecting them with the history of livestock raising, warfare and local life.

The memorial hall displays artifacts and materials relating to Kim Man-il and Uigwi-ri residents, along with materials explaining Jeju's livestock-raising culture. We suggest exploring both one person's achievements and everyday life in his village.

Learning about the roles of horses through exhibits with children

Ask children how horses were used in the past. Connecting the exhibits with Jeju ranch scenery they have seen can make stories of past travel, everyday life and support for the state easier to explain.

This is not a venue for riding actual horses. Ask separately about programs in the activity room, and do not touch exhibits. Official information restricts bringing in food and entry for pets other than guide dogs, so check conditions for your companions.

Heading from Namwon's foothills to villages and the coast

The reference address is 남원읍 서성로 919. Introductions mention both the memorial hall's name and the hometown of its subject, who came from Uigwi-ri; use the memorial hall's street address to confirm the actual visiting location.

Seongeup Folk Village is an option for adding a setting for Jeju's everyday history. Soesokkak offers a change of atmosphere with southern coastal scenery after the livestock-culture exhibits. Choose one next stop that fits your direction of travel.
