From 1-4 pm, Gammelgården opens for free each of the five historic and fully-furnished buildings allowing visitors to participate in the work and play as residents of this small farm did in the late-1800’s.

You may be hauling water, packing your trunk for America, doing laundry, and playing games at “recess” in the new schoolyard. Come dressed in a period costume to add to your experience.

National Day in Sweden
2023-06-06 | MN
National Day is a day when Swedes celebrate the memory of the election of the nation’s founding father, Gustav Vasa, on June 6, 1523.
It was also on this day that a new constitution was adopted in 1809. The name was changed to Swedish Flag Day in 1983, but it wasn’t until 2005 that it became an official public holiday.
On National Day in Sweden, people enjoy Fika with friends, sing, dance, and attend village events in the town square.
