This birthplace of writer, dramatist and a priest Janez Jalen (1891-1966), which dates from the early 17th century, was renovated to house the museum in 1992 and opened to the public on 8 February 1997. For the collection, the following rooms were arranged: entrance hall, open-hearth kitchen, hiša (living room) and kamra (bedroom). The ambience of the open-hearth kitchen and hiša as the principal living room is enhanced by original furnishings from the early 20th century and is regularly turned into a 'live' museum where bread is baked, fruit dried on the tiled stove, and the table laid with home-made farm products. In the kamra there is a reconstruction of the writer's study with original pieces of furniture, clothes and some personal belongings, plus an exhibition of most of Jalen's literary legacy (manuscripts, letters, awards, literary works and his library).

Every year the museum houses a Honey Thread, the traditional tasting event of different types of honey produced by local beekeepers. The homestead of Janez Jalen in Rodine is only one of the spots on the 'Path of Cultural Heritage' route in municipality Žirovnica. The others include Birthplace of Dr France Prešeren, Vrba, Birthplace of Franc Saleški Finžgar, Žirovnica, and Birthplace of Matija Čop.
