Erlandergården

Erlandergården is a museum building in Ransäter consisting of two main structures: a schoolhouse dating back roughly 200 years with living quarters and a newer exhibition building from the 1980s. The schoolhouse contains both the classroom and residential spaces that reveal how daily life and teaching happened in this place.

The schoolhouse dates to around 1820 and reflects Swedish education during the 19th century. The museum was established to preserve the teaching and life of this community during that era.

The museum displays furniture, hand-woven carpets, and curtains that represent Swedish craftsmanship from the early 20th century. These objects show how people lived and worked in this community.

Visitors can schedule guided tours through the website, email, or phone, with groups needing to arrange visits at least three weeks in advance. The site is accessible during opening hours and parking is available nearby.

The museum preserves both the classroom where Erik Gustaf Erlander taught and the family residence located on the second floor of the schoolhouse. This spatial connection between workplace and home makes the historical living situation feel tangible and immediate.
