An exhibit of the birthplace and childhood home of President Park Chung Hee (Korean: 박정희 대통령 생가) is currently located in Sangmo-dong , Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. Park was the 1963–1979 President of South Korea. The home was registered as Cultural Heritage No. 86 of North Gyeongsang on February 25, 1993.[2][1]
Park was born in the home, and lived there until 1937. Other members of his family continued to occupy it late into the 20th century, although they have since moved out.
The home was built in either 1900 or 1916. The exhibit consists of a number of buildings, including an anchae, a sarangchae, and a memorial hall to Park and his wife.
