Meldal Village Museum
Meldal Village Museum is beautifully located in Bergslia, on the hill above Meldal. Mother museum consists of 22 old buildings, including a traditional residence of Trøndelag, a smallholding from 1920, a hearth and farm houses. The museum displays the village's architectural traditions, housing and farming methods from the 1600s until the First World War.
The museum has a stunningly beautiful and detailed interior. Much of the museum's collection of artifacts originates from Eilert Støren's large private collection. He was a rural doctor in the area from 1889 to 1929, and was an open-air museum pioneer. The museum was established in 1931.
Meldal museum is owned and run by Orkland municipality. The museum is a member of the Norse Kulturarv (Norwegian Cultural Heritage)
