Located in Simanindo approximately nine miles from Tuk-tuk, an ancient king's traditional house was restored and converted into the Batak Museum. The museum is small, but a must if you are interested in understanding more about the extremely interesting Batak culture; admission is $3.

Traditional dancing is sometimes performed at 10:30 a.m. each morning -- assuming that any tourists have shown up. The dancing done at the museum is far more authentic than the tourist-oriented variety performed in guesthouses.
