Sodeliškiai Manor Homestead, which houses the Museum of Ancient Technique, is situated 13 km from Biržai. It was opened in 2018 pursuant to the initiative of the farmers Dalius and Neringa Linkevičiai. The museum displays a variety of historic vehicles, from bicycles to aeroplanes, as well as old agricultural machinery and everyday life objects from the Soviet era.
There is also a rich collection of military equipment. The most interesting exhibits include the LuAZ-967M amphibious vehicle, army motorcycles, and the GAZ-51 special military task vehicle, which was used during the war to disinfect the linen and clothing of patients in the wartime field hospitals. A separate section of the exhibition is dedicated to the vehicles and paraphernalia of the Soviet militia. The museum has a large toy collection, with a large proportion of the collection allocated for military toys.
