Since the merger of the municipalities, the building has largely handed over the main part of its function as a village archive to the State Archives. On the upper floor, important topics such as the emigration of Glarners to the USA and the founding of New Glarus remain documented. The ground floor houses numerous exhibits on Glarus military history and shows the production of gunpowder.
Schwanden
In 1993, after the demolition of the row of houses "Kuratle-Speich-Schmid", the "Stiftung Pro Schwanden und Umgebung" could only limit the damage - the demolition decided by the Schwanden municipal assembly in 1988 and tolerated by the monument preservation could no longer be prevented. Even the fact that the houses had their origins in the late Middle Ages (around 1500, determined by documents and the examination of wood samples) did not change this decision.
