The family house of legendary Slovene poet Anton Aškerc (1856 - 1912) in the village of Senožete near Rimske Toplice is not only open for tourists, but actually run by the poet's own grandnephew, who has turned the premises into a museum. Visitors can purchase various agricultural products made on the farm and see displays of Aškerc's work as well as some traditional furnishings such as a black kitchen, which were commonly used in Slovenia during his life. Best known for his epic poems and romantic ballads, the grounds and area surrounding the house have also been restored and are appropriately worthy of a contemplative stroll after viewing the exhibition.
