The stone church was built around 1220 and known for its intact interior from the 16th and 17th century. The museum also consist a research center.

Visit idyllic Hadeland Folkemuseum this summer and get a glimpse of everyday life from the past. Last summer we had more than 7000 visitors visit our open air museum. Our visitors come from all areas in Norway as well as the local area. We are also happy to have many visitors from abroad. Many contact the museum to make inquiries about the collection, local history and genealogy. The museum provides outreach services in the form of temporary exhibits, talks to local groups and schools. The educational activities reflect the museum's commitment to lifelong learning, and have included children's activities and adult education courses.

The open air museum contains more than 30 buildings from the 17^th to the 20^th centuries and gives a good example of everyday life in the past. In the summertime you can walk around in our beautiful open air museum by yourself, or you can take a guided tour in some of the old houses or in Tingelstad old church. We also have areas for picnicking.

During the summer season the museum arranges three special activity days when the open air museum teems with life. We offer a variety of activities and entertainment for visitors of all ages, such as folk music and dancing, demonstration of traditional arts and crafts and much, much more. Volunteers assist us on our activity days. Without their help we would not be able to carry on as we do today.

Our cafeteria is open on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer. In our museum gift shop you can buy souvenirs, handicraft, special art wares, beverages and ice cream. The museum gift shop is now open the whole year.
