The old buildings brought together here include a church and a manor house, Lapp dwellings and an upland shieling (summer grazing station), smallholders' cottages and peasant farmhouses, and a whole quarter of a town, with craftsmen's workshops. Over the years some 150 old buildings of historical interest have been assembled at Skansen, which is now 10 times its original size. In the various houses and workshops visitors can see something of many traditional crafts - butter and cheese making, baking, weaving, basketwork, wood-turning, glass-blowing, etc.
