Vrba is one of the oldest villages at the foot of Stol, inhabited by peasants whose additional sources of income used to be trade and transportation with wagons and pack-horses. When the Prešeren house was originally constructed in the 16th century it was mostly made of wood, with only the basement, hall and barn made of stone. After a fire in 1856 the house was rebuilt. It was bought and arranged into a memorial museum in 1939 following an initiative of another native of Vrba, priest and writer Franc Saleški Finžgar (see Birthplace of Franc Saleški Finžgar, Žirovnica). It was the very first Slovene protected cultural monument and remains an interesting monument of vernacular art.
