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 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 heritage we hope you will join us in some stories from Old Rural Sweden to bring a bit more of that culture to your life, and in so doing bring a little bit more life to that culture.
