The 'Museum Village', which is 11 km away from Safranbolu, can be reached via the Safranbolu-Araç highway. It was taken under protection by the Ministry of Culture in 1997 due to the fact that it was a real Turkish-Turkmen Village and the splendor of its historical structures. It is a small model of Safranbolu. There are 93 registered works.

The nomadic communities living in the Safranbolu region in the 16th century are called 'Yörükan-Taraklı' or 'Yörükan-ı Taraklıborlu'. During the Ottoman Empire, Safranbolu was two separate townships, one named Medina-i Taraklıborlu in today's Safranbolu district center, and the other named Yörükan-ı Taraklıborlu, which was established for the tribes whose center is today's Yörük Village. It is known that both districts are connected to the Bolu Sanjak of Anadolu Beylerbey, whose center is Kütahya.
