Located in Geochang County in Gyeongsangnam-do Province, the Head House of Mr. Jeong On shows a peculiar style of ancient Korean architecture. Since the house is located in a basin surrounded by high mountains, it was built in overlapping style as the typical architectural style in the northern region in order to endure the cold. In addition, the "eyebrow" roof was added as protection from the frequent rain. The house is mainly visited by families on weekends and research organizations on weekdays. Visitors can enjoy various healing and cultural activities in the trekking course of Mt. Geumwonsan and the Suseungdae Amusement Park, which are 1km away.

The historical border of the Silla and Baekje Kingdoms, Rajetongmun Gate of Seolcheon-myeon, Muju was formed from a rock cave in Seokgyeonsan Mountain. The tunnel is approximately 3 meters in x_height and 10 meters in length, and divides the villages of Sindu Maeul into Dugil-ri, Seolcheon-myeon and Inam Maeul in Socheon-ri. During the Three Kingdoms Period, the rocky ridges of Seokgyeonsan Mountain drew the boundary of Silla's Mupung in the east with Baekje's Seolcheo to the west.
Tracing the history from the Three Kingdoms Period to the Goryeo dynasty, the cultures and traditions of the two regions were markedly different. If curious about the difference, one could simply stop by Seolcheon on market day, where the Muju and Mupung local
dialects and customs can easily be distinguished.
People used to cross Seokgyeonsan Mountain by a footpath along the rocky ridge to travel between Seolcheon and Mupung. During the Japanese occupation, a new road was created by turning a cave into a tunnel through the mountain so cows and horse carts could freely pass from Muju to Gimcheon.
General Kim Yoo Shin from the Silla Kingdom, the hero of unification of the Three Kingdoms, often passed by the gate, later giving rise to the gate's nickname, Tongilmun (literally "Unification Gate"). The gate
is number one on the list of 33 scenic sites in Gucheon-dong.
