This is all really fascinating to me. Three of my four grandparents came from Norway. I remember hearing about family living in Bergen, and I thought I was told a relative was a minister in one of the churches there. I would guess that was in the late 1800s or early 1900s because that grandma and one of her seven sisters had emigrated by the early 1900s. My father’s father, Ludvig Larsen (Larson) Stol, was originally from Hell, Norway, which always concerned my father because he did not know that Hell was a town in Norway. His father died when Daddy was about 9 years old so the confusion continued until I Googled Hell, Norway and was happy to show my Dad that it was a town in Norway.

The history museum is a must ! It’s small but has a lovely collection of folk art ceramics hand painted wooden bowls plus beautiful carved wooden items ! Also weaving and knitting . There’s a great little film to sit and watch from the 1920,s of life in norway .
The Viking section was closed for a refurbished but the history of churches was interesting plus an interesting collection from the colonies!
I loved it😊

forget the museums. meet up with the locals and see the cool parks, the buildings, the amazing pubs, and most importantly the people..
