The following pictures were taken at Finnmarkens Hembygdsgard in Dalarna/Sweden, an old settlement founded by Finnish immigrants in the 18th and 19th century.
I do not exactly know how long this place was still inhabited, but it looks like people have lived there until mid 20th century. Please feel free to drop a note, if you know more about that!
Once a year the so-called Mottifest is still celebrated at Finnmarkens Hembygdsgard.
