Penghu Pioneer Museum Introduction
The Penghu Pioneer Museum was formerly the Governor's Office of the Penghu County during the Japanese occupation period and served as the official residence of the Penghu County magistrate after the restoration of Taiwan. Completed on March 10, 1935, during the Shōwa era, it is a typical example of "Western and Japanese mixed" architecture, alongside the Penghu County government. With its solid structure, elegant design, and tranquil gardens, the museum was left vacant after the buildings aged post-1992. In 1999, the county government restored it based on the original architectural style and transformed it into the "Penghu Pioneer Museum," becoming the first stop for understanding Penghu, as well as a cultural space for the local community's culture, leisure, and tourism. Inside, the museum displays historical materials and artifacts related to the pioneering history of Penghu, categorized into various exhibition areas: History - Prelude to Development, Long Journey of Immigration, Brave Expedition into Black Water Ditch, Settlement Development, War - The Fire of Penghu, Political, Economic, and Cultural Development, Current Construction, and Reading Penghu, narrating the hardships endured by the pioneers. The entire museum covers an area of 2,001 square meters (approximately 605 ping), with an indoor area of 320 square meters (about 97 ping). The outdoor garden features century-old banyan trees, towering Terminalia catappa, and a variety of plants unique to Penghu, providing a high-quality recreational space.
