The history of Riuttala reaches as far as 1657, from when a mention of the farm can be found in a map of areas ruled by Peter Brahe. In 1975 ownership of the farm was passed from Ikäheimo family to Riuttala Foundation for Conservation of Peasant Culture and Heritage.

Today Riuttala serves as a museum, spanning 14 hectares with over 20 buildings in the premises. In addition to hosting various events Riuttala also offers an excellent place for meetings, field trips and other group activities. The café-restaurant Katrin Kammarj can provide everything from afternoon coffee to event catering.
