//////////////////////////////////

The Lambropoulos Olive Press building in Loggos began to function as such in the beginning of the 20th century applying the traditional cold press olive oil production method. Nowadays it is being renovated and transformed into the Achaean Land Center, which will operate as a museum for regional agricultural history. The Center will be active in the following domains: 1.Agricultural production addressing Achaean products such as olive oil, wine and raisins that will describe production process and history 2.The environment and its local characteristics through educational programs that will disseminate information concerning correct practices and will raise awareness about ecosystems, notions of the local, climate and environment 3.Ethnography and history through the core of a rich and growing collection of cultural and agricultural artifacts which will function as the main exhibit in conjunction with the restored machinery highlighting early local industrial and cultural history.
