The Salpa Line Museum (Finnish: Salpalinja-museo, Russian: Музей линии "Салпа") was established and opened in 1987 by the municipality of Miehikkälä and by World War II veteran organisations. It is the first museum established in Miehikkälä. The other museums are the Miehikkälän kotiseutumuseo and the Miehikkälä local arts and crafts museum, which was established in 1989 and is located in the same building as the Engineers Museum.[1]

The Salpa Line Museum is the core of the Salpa Centre, which is the tourist information centre of the Salpa Line Museum, the Engineers Museum and the Bunker Museum. The surrounding area was built as a defensive line for an infantry company in 1940–1944. The defensive line never saw active combat as the front line did not reach the area due to the truce of 5 September 1944 and the Moscow Armistice of 19 September 1944.[2]

Some of the preserved Salpa Line areas are classified as built-up cultural environments of national importance by Finland's National Board of Antiquities.[3] The territory of the Salpa Line Museum belongs to one of the four such areas in Miehikkälä: Kylmälä,[4] Miehikkälä municipal cente,[5] Muurula[6] and Myllylampi.[7]
