The Gräsmark Folklore Museum

To visit the Gräsmark's folklore museum is to make a trip many years back. Buildings and utility goods remind us of our Finnish ancenstors who moved here to live in their settlements in this area of Värmland.

There are about ten old buildings from the area, and they have all a lot of utility goods: a pantry, a shed, a Finnish hut, a drying-kiln, a water-mill, farm-houses, stables, vehicle sheds, barns and a Finnish sauna. And an open-air dance floor.
Some of the buildings are available for hire. Telephone +46 565 403 07.
