Stamp of the Day: Dalslandsstuga

In honor of EHs and JHs new house, here comes a real Dalslandsstuga (Cottage from Dalsland, a Swedish province in western Sweden), as a Swedish stamp. Our ancestors, from Ed in Dalsland, lived in timber houses like this. Note the tony windows and standing timber. Enjoy your house!

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".
