The history behind today’s ceremonies.

As a history museum dedicated to preserving the narratives of the past, Gammelgården invites you to pause this Memorial Day to reflect on the significance of this national holiday.

Originally established in response to the grief experienced during the Civil War, "Decoration Day" began as a grassroots movement by communities across the United States to honor the approximately 620,000 soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

While Memorial Day has evolved from the 1800s to encompass the remembrance of all American service members who have died in every conflict since the Civil War, its main purpose remains to ensure that the bravery of those who gave their lives for our freedom is never forgotten.

🧹🍬 Here comes the Easter witch – on a sweet mission!

In Sweden, Easter brings one of the quirkiest (and cutest) traditions: the påskkärring, or Easter witch. Dressed in colourful scarves, aprons, and rosy cheeks, children go door-to-door wishing “Glad påsk” in exchange for sweets – often handing over a handmade drawing or Easter letter.

Think of it as a friendlier, springtime version of trick-or-treat 🎨✨

Rooted in folklore, these little witches were once believed to fly to the mythical island of Blåkulla on Good Friday – but today, they’re all about spreading joy (and collecting candy!).

Would you trade a drawing for Swedish sweets? 🍭🇸🇪
