Today we decided to visit Gammlia again - the open air museum that is not far away from where we live. We joined a guided tour, that among others featured two farmer's buildings from the 1800's. The houses are original, but moved to Gammlia (from northern Sweden) and the museum is about showing how it could have been 200 years ago. The houses are filled with old furniture and tools.
To make it more authentic, the guides were dressed in time-traditional clothes. The wooden fence around the yard helped to keep the hens within the farmhouse area. The forge ("smedjan") was usually placed outside the yard, for security reasons.We also visited a forest Lapp cot, that was built last year. Unfortunately we were late for the tasting of the traditional bread, but we sure will try to show up for that later on.
