Usak Ataturk And Ethnography Museum

The building belonging to Atatürk and Ethnography Museum located in Hisarkapı Uluyolu, Bozkurt District of Uşak Province, was built in the 1890s.

The building belonging to one of the leading families of Uşak, known as Kaftancızadeler, was used as headquarters in the War of Independence.

Atatürk welcomed the Commander-in-Chief of the Greek Army, Trikopis, in this building, and received the weapons and sword of the Commander-in-Chief Trikopis with İsmet Pasha (İsmet İnönü), Halit Akmansu, (Dadaylı Halit), Asım Paşa (Asım Gündüz). Although Commander-in-Chief Trikopis was a prisoner, he was welcomed by Atatürk with Turkish hospitality.

The building, which was expropriated in the mid 1970s, was opened on September 1, 1978 as Atatürk and Ethnography Museum.
