Gungsan Trench History Exhibition Hall is an exhibition hall located near the rear gate of Gyeongjae Jeongseon Art Museum. The Gungsan Trench is a tunnel that was used as a storage facility to smoothly move military supplies during the early and mid-1940s under Japanese colonial rule. The tunnel is estimated to be 2.7m in height, 2.2m in width, and 68m in length. It is said to have been used to store military supplies such as weapons and ammunition, or to monitor Gimpo Airfield and serve as a unit headquarters during air raids. Local residents were forcibly mobilized as a national defense corps (Bogukdae) to construct this site. With Japan's defeat and Korea's liberation, the excavation work was halted, but the site was later used for various purposes. In 2008, the underground tunnel was discovered through reports from local residents, and an attempt was made to create an exhibition hall extending into the tunnel's interior, but construction was stopped after a large rockfall occurred in part of the cave during the work. In 2018, a glass wall was installed, creating an exhibition hall where visitors can view the tunnel's interior from the entrance.
