- 1980The association received land in Ungersheim for the project.
- 1984Marc Grodwohl founded the museum, which opened in June with about twenty rebuilt buildings.
- 1989The Thur was diverted to feed an artificial river.
- 2004The neighboring Rodolphe mine buildings opened as a museum about Alsatian potash mining.
