At the Museum

Last Saturday during Tungelsta Day saw the opening of a new museum at the Tungelsta Park. You will find the museum on the second floor of the Torklada. It will feature items relating to Tungelsta's gardening history. Back in the 1950ths there was more that 70 horticulture businesses in Tungelsta. Now in 2008 there are nine left. Here you see Mats Wiger in what must be his gallery look. That's a mighty fine wooden box he's saying to himself I think.

Elinslund

Tungelsta had a big laundry industry at the start of the last century. The grey building to the left is an old "torklada" and it was used to hang the washing out to dry. It was built by the Berg family in 1935. For the first three years Eskil Berg and his wife Greta Berg worked without electricity. Carrying the water barrels by hand from the well to the barn. Ten years later they were able to buy a washing machine.The Berg family business was in operation until 1981. All information about Elinslund credited to Ulla Nilsson from haninge.org Bigger photo.
