A lovely little museum with small church (that is still used today for weddings). Picturesque, informative and delicious light desserts for sale.

Delicious cakes, lovely staff and cat, nice history museum focused on an important Icelandic political figure. Worth a stop.

This was a peaceful and historically rich farmstead — once home to chieftains and now a tribute to Jón Sigurðsson, a key figure in Iceland’s path to independence. The turf-roof houses and charming museum, along with Icelandic cafe gave a perfect taste of local heritage and hospitality. Toilets were good, especially the disabled one. Peaceful view from picnic tables and the drive down a dirt path gave an insight into the remoteness of this area. Huge bonus points for lack of mass tourism: no cruise line coaches here. And what a treat that was!

A beautiful encapsulation of critical Icelandic history through the story of Jón.

We were surprised to find such a lovely treasure where we did. The road out there is a little rough (2WD is fine) and there’s nothing else nearby. But it was worth the trip on its own!

We also enjoyed the small church next door and the neighboring historical building (which also has a cafe - wonderful owner to chat with too!).

Overall, a great stop for those wanting to understanding a little bit more behind Iceland, it’s strong people, and the European influences that have bled in.

Highly recommend! (Bonus; it’s free)

Although we only spent a few minutes in the main museum, we enjoyed the stop and explored the displays in the cottages and small chapel. I thought the chapel appeared to be used for regular worship services, but we were told it is only used on occasion.
