Home of Prof. Gidon Mer

Gideon Mer was an Israeli scientist whose work was mostly concerned with the eradication of malaria. After World War I, he returned to Rosh Pina. His laboratory there eventually became a research station for the study of the bionomics of mosquitoes and methods of malaria control. The house has been preserved and contains a small museum exhibit of items from various periods:- plows, laboratory equipment and textbooks.

Shlomo Ben Yosef’s Cave

The cave, concealed beneath the abandoned administration building, served as a hiding place for three men from the Betar squadron who set out in April 1938 on a retaliation mission to counteract Arab attacks against Jewish settlers. The British army hunted them down and they were trapped in the cave with their firearms. All three were sentenced to death, but defense attorneys managed to prevent the execution of two of them. The third, Shlomo Ben Yosef, was executed by hanging at Acre jailhouse. An audiovisual presentation in the cave depicts the era in general and this event in particular.
