The Crofter's Cottage, Skansen Open-Air Museum

Crofts of this kind without farmland were the homes either of people living on charity thru old age or illness or of soldiers, craftsmen, etc. This 18th-century croft, from Hornborgastuga in Västergotland, was the home of the parish clerk and organist.
