The traditional house of Vietnam Textile Industry was renovated and built from the traditional house of Nam Dinh Textile Joint Stock Corporation; it still retains the ancient architectural marks of France.
Taking us to visit the Traditional House, Ms. Pham Thi Thu Ha, an officer of the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of the Vietnam Textile and Garment Group, proudly shared that Nam Dinh Textile Factory was honored to welcome Uncle Ho to visit three times in 1957, 1959 and 1963. Currently, the Traditional House still preserves many images, autographs, and souvenirs related to President Ho Chi Minh , especially the room where Uncle Ho stayed during his two visits and work at the factory in 1957 and 1963.
