Trip to Iceland Post #11: Glaumbaer Museum

On our third full day in Iceland we stopped at the Glaumbaer Museum along the north side of the island. Glaumbaer is an old turf farmhouse that has been maintained to illustrate the history of the region.

It was a great look at how Icelanders lived in the 18th and early 19th century. My kids had a great time going from room to room inside and seeing how the rooms were used. It showed them that life was very different over 200 years ago! No one had internet connected devices back then.

There is a fee to enter the farmhouse, but it's reasonable and kids under 17 are free. Definitely stop here if you are looking for a bit of Icelandic history.
