Rambergstugo: This house is the most important of the buildings at the Heddal Farm Museum. It has two stories, which was a new invention in the late 18th century on Norwegian farms. This was possible because of the building of a fireplace with a chimney which allowed smoke to escape through a hatch in the roof! The main floor was probably built in the early 1700s (and is representative of house designs of southeastern Norway going back almost a thousand years), while the upstairs rooms were added to the building around 1780.

Firearms Chest: This big chest was used for storing firearms, usually kept in church or at the local law-officer's farm.

Trophy and Tack Room: This room was at the top of the stairs and showed the typical tack used back in the early 1800s.

Linda and Agneta check out the furnishings: Native dress, artwork, tools...everything in this house caught our attention. Notice the door that Linda just walked through. She had to duck under the frame because all the doorways were lower than we were accustomed to.

Rose Painting: The upstairs living room of this house was incredible. I've never seen anything like this before. The artist was Olav Hansson (born 1750ish, died 1830ish). Most of the known works of Olav Hansson were from the late 1700s to around 1800. He was a master of contemporary style of painting, but was best at "flower-painting". During his most productive years his inspirational styles (baroque, regence and rococco) were obsolete in the outside world, but were of high fashion in East-Telemark, Norway.

National Costumes of the Telemark region of Norway: The costumes were incredibly beautiful, and were on display in several rooms.
