Troms Forsvarsmuseum

Good old days on the farm, in the scenic surroundings of Presbakken. Salangen Country Museum lies nestled in beautiful and fertile farmland at Prestbakken in Upper Salangen. In the early 1700s people from Southern Norway moved here and cleared land for farming. The museum consists of seven buildings, all re-located to Prestbakken. The buildings include a farmhouse, barn, storehouse, sheds, smithy, and a mill. The farmhouse, known as Limostua, dates from the 1870s. A wonderful collection of around 1500 arifacts, primarly kitchen utensils, furniture, carpentry and farming tools, wagons, and an entire shoemakers workshop create an atmosphere not unlike thar in Hamsuns book Growth of the Soil. Salangen Country Museum opens a door to farm life in the far North.

Imposing and solid, Lundbrygga lies in the centre of Sjøvegan. Located on the site of an older pier, it was built sometime after World War I and before World War II. Today the wharf is a museum where you can see an exhibition of over 30 classic motorcycles. It tells the story of how motorcycles transformed the life and culture in the region.
