The museum built around 1440 and in the 16th century renewed, is housed at theLauterschen Schl�sschen. Above the entrance door the family coat of arms of Hans Ernst von Lauter can still be seen.
The visitor can get acquainted with the village's history and museum through a sound slide show and will be informed about the historical trade and military road Frankfurt-Leipzig.
One can view an old pharmacy from 18th/19th century at the upper floor. In the other room stands a giraffe-neck piano from the year 1820.

Personalities, tightly connected with the town history, like the humanist and reformator Ulrich von Hutten (born 1488), the abbot Petrus Lotichius, who introduced the reformation to Kinzigtal and whose nephew an important German poet, are being presented.
Part of the exhibition is in honour of the Brothers Grimm who stem from Hanau and Steinau.They were guests at theLauterschen Schl�sschen, as one can recognise by means of different personal items and artistic work by Ludwig Emil Grimm.
