Our ancestral home
This is the old house Gäserudstugan [the Gäserud house] where we who write in this blog have our forefather from. This house can you visit in Dals-Ed, Dalsland, in Sweden. It is built 1741 after dendrocronologic examination. It was an older house on the same place, but it was bad so that when Per Persson got the house from his father and married Ingrid Jonsdotter he build this house. This is a watercolor painting I did of it when I was there.
This is the interior from the kitchen. This house was inhabited until 1931, then a new house was built a little bit away from this house. If you want to know more, search and google bagenholm-habol.org or "Gäserudstugan".

Nice watercolors, AnS, as always! Do you know for how long the land was owned by our ancestors? And isn't that house a historical museum now? I love the old kitchen, with its open hearth and the rugs (trasmattor) on the wooden floor.
Gäserudstugan is a historical museum now , is the oldest house in Dalsland. It is open in summer for visitors.
Our ancestors built the oldest house in Dalsland!? I didn't know that. That is pretty amazing I think. Imagine a person with our genes sawing floor planks, nailing boards up, and cooking in that kitchen. It is hard to imagine, but true!
Wow! Those are really cool! I love looking at your artwork becuase I learn from it!
