The Tofan family house in Tazlău is a typical mountain dwelling from the early 19th century. The household includes a two-room house, a porch, a cellar, stone cellars and a stable. The house has walls made of wooden beams (joined at the corners in a "dovetail"), glued with clay and whitewashed. The porch is built of a frame made of wooden beams filled with clay. The roof is hipped and has a roof made of dranita. The goods are exhibited in the two rooms of the house, in the cellar, in the cellar with a stone vault, but also in the stable in the annex. The rooms are organized specifically for a peasant interior from the times of the 19th century, with large stoves with an oven, ...benches, window coverings. The walls are covered with carpets, blankets and icon coverings. The cellar houses the tools that were commonly used in the household or on various occasions throughout the year. The house belonged to the current owner's family: it was built during the time of his grandfather, Alexandru Tofan, a martyr hero in World War I, who died in 1916, and then passed on as an inheritance to his father, Gheorghe Tofan, a war veteran in World War II (1941-1945). Starting with 2018, this place has hosted several cultural-artistic events that brought attention to traditional values, winter customs and traditions, performances of folk music ensembles, videos, as well as a show about how traditional Christmas dishes are prepared. One of the special guests of the Tazlău museum was Prince Nicholas of Romania, as well as several members of a Discovery team.
