Present and past near the industrial park

Västernorrland Museum is inventorying the buildings closest to the area where the industrial park in Torsboda is being developed. The result will be a publication describing how the villages of Brännan and Gryttjom look today and how the area has changed historically.   

Employees at Västernorrlandsmuseum, Johanna Ulfsdotter, antiquarian and cultural environment developer, and Sanna Berglund, building antiquarian, are working on the assignment.

- We will visit Gryttjom and Brännan in late September to take photographs. We want to document the buildings and their surroundings in the present and describe their history, as a major change is taking place in the immediate vicinity of the villages," explains Sanna Berglund.

- We also hope to hear stories about the houses and farms from people who live or have lived there," says Johanna Ulfsdotter. "We will also find out more about how people living in the surrounding area perceive the change brought about by the development of the industrial park.

Affected property owners in Gryttjom and Brännan have received a letter from Västernorrland Museum in the mailbox about the documentation. The assignment comes from Torsboda Industrial Park.
