The homestead of the Bishop Motiejus Valančius Birthplace-Museum is a state-protected object of cultural heritage. The barn at the homestead, constructed in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries, as well as two stone wells, are included in the Register of Immovable Cultural Properties. The Museum was established here in 1969; its activities are devoted to the preservation and cultivation of an understanding of the personality and creative heritage of Bishop Motiejus Valančius as well as communication of that understanding to people today.

The homestead is adorned and the meaning of the bishop’s activities is expressed by wooden sculptures created by the folk artists Alfonsas Skiezgilas, Raimundas Puškorius, Adolfas Andriejus Viluckas, Steponas Žiubrys, Liudas Ruginis, and Gediminas Staškauskas. In 1995, commemorating the anniversary of the birth of the future bishop, 200 oak seedlings were planted. The oak grove was planted by a cross-section of Lithuania: seedlings planted by the bishop’s relatives as well as oaks planted by the poet M. M. Kudarauskaitė, Mosėdis native Doctor Vaclovas Intas, President Valdas Adamkus and other prominent figures are growing here.

The material presented in the exhibition space of the Bishop Motiejus Valančius Birthplace-Museum describes the bishop’s life and multifaceted activity, introduces visitors to the history of the Museum’s founding, the childhood and school years of Motiejus Valančius, the Samogitian bishop’s activities in 1850–1875, and literature about Valančius. The 18^th-century five-section barn houses an ethnographic exhibition: the housewife’s (good) box room, the box rooms for the lass and the lad, and box rooms for household items and grain.
