Walk 500 years of Västerbotten farm and forest life through reconstructed timber buildings, with a historian unlocking the stories behind them.
What to expect
You wander farmsteads, a windmill, and reconstructed 19th-century buildings moved here from across the region, while your guide points out details easy to miss — smoke saunas, storage techniques, the harsh economics of northern farm life. The adjoining Västerbottens Museum holds Sweden's oldest ski, an 8,000-year find, which your guide can put in real context.
