Ori Yi Wonik(1547-1634), residing in the house of the head family for the last part of his life, tried to build Ihyeonsa, a shrine dedicated to Gang Gamchan and Seo Gyeon, but he could not realize his desire. Later, in about 1658(ninth year of King Hyojong's reign) rich farmers of the region erected Samhyeonsa, a shrine dedicated to Yi Wonik as well as the two sages. In 1676(second year of King Sukjong's reign), Samhyeonsa became a saaekseowon ("Confucian academy named by a king"), and was called Chunghyeonseowon after receiving a hanging board with the new name on it from King Sukjong. Chunghyeon Museum is committed to succeeding and developing the Chunghyeonseowon.
