Jamtli, a 10-minute walk from downtown Östersund, has been named the best children’s museum in Sweden and been around since 1912. As you enter the outdoor area of Jamtli, you find yourself on the main square of Östersund in 1895 when 6,000 people lived in the city and came from all over the province and beyond to look for work. The whole outdoor area takes you back in time and shows you how people lived in this part of Sweden in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Visit the farms where costumed actors tell you about life on a farm and show you how to churn butter, card wool, and many other chores of everyday farm life. The recently built indoor exhibition features a large collection of remains from the Viking Age, the Stone Age and the Sami people who still live in this region today. This section is also fun for children – they get to open boxes, pull strings and push buttons while learning about the history of these people.
