The village's history dates back to the 18th century when Germans from the Black Forest came to settle down in the area.

After 1989 Kismaros became a hotspot for Budapesters trying to escape the hassles of city life; many of them settled down in the village permanently.

[5][6] Each year end of September the locals hold the festival “Marus Napok” to celebrate their rich German heritage.

The festival's main attraction is when people march through the village with horse-drawn carriages, singing and dancing dressed in traditional clothes.

The festivity is also a unique opportunity for visitors to taste the local cuisine and to listen to some authentic Swabian music.

The museum houses a permanent historic exhibition to give visitors some insights into the villagers everyday life.

The exhibition covers the village life of those ethnic German settlers who arrived in the 18th century to people in present-day Kismaros.
