There will be buses that stop nearby, but it sounds like taxis will be your easiest option. Have a great trip!

I know I can take the train to Fredrikstad from Oslo, but how does a family of 8 (ages 82 to 6) get to the Church where my ancestors worshipped in the early 1600’s. What is the walking distance and is this doable, are there carriages for hire in Fredrikstad, is there bus service to Old Glemm Church, Driver and car for hire??? I need suggestions as this is the purpose of my trip to Fredrikstad.
Sincerely, Mary Bradt

Hi Heather, have a wonderful time! I would recommend getting in touch with the museum in advance (send them an email) and asking for any tips. I believe Fredrikstad Museum covers several sites so they may have something of relevance.

In Fredrikstad he was a foreman or president of a place that made beams. Did you see anything there about a timber processing history or about ship building? I’m trying to trace our ancestor’s steps and we will be visiting in early May. Thank you for your recommendation of the hotel. Any suggestions of what to visit there to get a feeling for the 1850s to 1860s?
