Few Words about Tunabygdens Hembygdsförening

Tunabygdens Hembygdsförening, or the Tuna Local Heritage Association, is an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Tunabygden area in Sweden. The association primarily operates through its home museum, Tunabygdens Gammelgård, which is located on the western bank of the Dalälven River. This site serves as a significant cultural and historical resource for both locals and visitors.

Tunabygdens Gammelgård
The centerpiece of the association’s activities is Tunabygdens Gammelgård, one of Sweden’s largest open-air museums, featuring 35 historical buildings. These structures provide insight into traditional Swedish rural life and architecture from various periods. The museum not only showcases these buildings but also hosts numerous events throughout the year that celebrate local customs and traditions.

Activities and Events
The association organizes a variety of cultural activities aimed at engaging the community and preserving local traditions. Notable events include:

Midsummer Celebrations: A traditional event where visitors can participate in raising the maypole and enjoying folk music.

Christmas Market: Held annually on the second Sunday of Advent, this market features local crafts, food, and festive activities.

Guided Tours: During summer months, guided tours are available to educate visitors about the history and significance of the buildings within Gammelgården.

These activities not only attract thousands of visitors each year—approximately 45,000 during peak seasons—but also foster a sense of community among residents.
