Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will hold the "2025 Donated Artifacts Special Exhibition" in the Donation Hall on the first floor of the Yongin City Museum starting October 21.

Materials related to Cheongwon Ranch exhibited in the "2025 Donated Artifacts Special Exhibition" at Yongin City Museum. These records vividly showcase the local dairy industry from the 1970s to the 1980s. Provided by Yongin City.

This exhibition will feature materials related to Cheongwon Ranch, donated by Cho Youngok and four others, as well as the "Sunheung An Clan Memorial Gate for a Virtuous Widow," donated by Kwon Hyukchan.

Cheongwon Ranch was operated by the late Shin Youngsoo, husband of Cho Youngok, in the Jigok-dong area of Giheung-gu during the 1970s and 1980s. The donated records vividly capture the local dairy industry of that era. Cho and her children donated various materials to the museum, including ranch accounting ledgers, documents, and photographs.

The "Sunheung An Clan Memorial Gate for a Virtuous Widow" is a memorial gate from the Joseon Dynasty, erected to honor a member of the Sunheung An clan who remained faithful after her husband's death. The gate was originally located near the Agok-ri Health Clinic in Namsa-eup, and descendant Kwon Hyukchan donated it to ensure its stable preservation.

The museum has also arranged for livestock-related items collected from the Wonsam area to be displayed alongside the Cheongwon Ranch materials, allowing visitors to gain a comprehensive view of the region's dairy industry.
