The local history museum provides an insight into the life, culture and history of the Küssnacht am Rigi region.

The local history museum provides an insight into the life and history of the Küssnacht am Rigi region. Prehistoric finds, landlords and landowners in the Middle Ages, the division of the canton in 1831 are presented, as well as events from more recent times, e.g. the project for a balloon lift from Immensee to the Rigi or the tragic accident involving the Belgian Queen Astrid in 1935. The two best-known folk customs are presented very impressively in an audio-visual show: The Klausjagen and the Sennenchilbi, which takes place every six years.

The museum of local history is located in Unterdorf, in the center of Küssnacht am Rigi, right next to the tower of the Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul. The museum is run and maintained by the Küssnacht am Rigi Historical Society. The local history museum was opened in 1951 and extended in 1985. The museum is a meeting place for people interested in history, families, schoolchildren and tourists. Careful displays bring the region's past back to life and inspire visitors to reflect.
