Stabbur on my Ancestor's Farm
My Norwegian great-grandfather was born on the farm Högbakken in 1852. My Norwegian cousin Villy Börresen now owns the farm. It is near the town of Skotterud.
This is farm's stabbur (a building used for storage). It was also built before the 1850's. My cousins turned the upstairs into a guest room. When I visited in 2002, I slept in the stabbur. Quite cool!!!
I liked the word 'stabbur' so much that I named my cat Stabbur. May he rest in peace.
