Puistola was turned into historic house museum and opened in 1998, when Savukoski municipality also received Hurrikas award from the Province of Lapland’s association of building tradition for renovating Puistola’s buildings. 

Downstairs of the main building have been decorated in the style of the 50s, following the original décor when possible. There is a small local history museum upstairs of the house and Rösölänperä elementary school in the changing exhibition’s chamber. The barn building also has exhibitions and museum artefacts.
