In the Spring of 2012 another building was added to the open-air museum. Gunvald Vatland built a hay barn near the Engedal barn.

This type of building was quite common in the mountains in our area for storing hay. People would go up in the mountains during the Summer to cut grass and bring the hay down by horse on the snow in the Winter.

This is a simple building built with notched logs and good ventilation so the hay would not rot before it was taken down to the farm in the Wintertime.
