Hemp cultivation and production of fibers manufactured from this area of Carmarthen has ancient origins: for hundreds of years the trade of raw fiber ropes and sturdy flourished nationally and internationally. The Living Museum of the culture of hemp production is located in a "feel" (processing path) original (built in 1905 and used until the mid 50's) located in Borgo San Bernardo: under a long canopy are preserved ancient tools and an extensive documentation relating to work and trade that involved most of the local population. Purpose of the museum are passing on the history and culture of processing and manufacturing of ropes, and not to squander the wealth of tools used during long time.
