Welcome to The Story Stugan!

Here we try to get acquainted with a culture that is all but gone: that which blossomed in the 19th-century Swedish countryside.

It is a culture (or maybe more a collection of cultures) that we find compelling; and while remembered and cherished, it was largely brushed aside by forces like centralization and industrialization. Now it can be quite hard to access, especially for us in the English-speaking world. If you find this culture compelling too, then regardless of your genetic heritage, we hope you will join us to learn about and participate in Old Rural Sweden's music, food, stories, and traditions and thereby bring a bit more life to that culture, and a bit more of that culture to your life.
