The water power still supports the whole village with electricity and turns the grindingwheels of the mill. We use the sawmill for our own needs. The blows of the hammer from the foundry and the noise of the water completes the picture of a real, live museum.

 Huseby is mentioned for the first time in 1419. In the beginning of the 17:th century a blast furnace was built, where f.ex. cannons and war materials were made. The farm and the estate expanded during the 18:th and most of the 19:th century. In 1844 the present neoclassicistic mansion was finished. The production of iron decreased in the beginning of the 20:th century, and 1930 the blast furnace was taken out of use. Huseby was inherited in the 1930´s by miss Florence Stephens which testamented Huseby bruk to the state in 1978.
