Welcome to Glommersträsk!
In Hängengården we show one of the finest old homesteads of Lapland with twelve timbered houses and about 2000 articles for every day use from the old pioneer and farmers culture.

Young people were obligated to cultivate the stony land and build their houses.
In Glommersträsk and other small villages nearby you can study the conditions fot the Swedish colonisation of Lapland.
