Hembygdsgårdar

Welcome to “hembygdsgårdarna”!

Around Östersund there are several fine local heritage farmes. In swedish they are called hembygdsgårdar. They refer to places where local culture and history are preserved and displayed, often with old buildings, museums, and sometimes with traditional activities or events.
Celebrate Midsummer, have a cup of coffee with a mug and take part in the homesteads’ wide range of different activities.
