  Kas di Pal’i Maishi,” meaning House of the Cornstalk, is a beautifully restored traditional house that offers a glimpse into Curaçao’s rural life from more than a century ago. Built from natural materials like clay, mud, and corn stalks, it represents the humble homes once lived in by the island’s Afro-Curaçaoan community after emancipation. Today, it stands as a small open-air museum where visitors can learn about local farming traditions, daily life, and the resilience of Curaçao’s people. Even as you pass by, your guide will share the history and symbolism behind this cultural landmark — a reminder of the island’s deep roots and enduring spirit.
