Bustarfell Museum is a quaint, century’s old, Icelandic family turf and stone house. It is located in the North East of Iceland, in the picturesque valley of Hofsárdalur, some 20 km´s from the village Tangi. This location boasts of grassy green valleys, majestic fjords, rugged snow capped mountains, pristine waterfalls, rivers, lakes and streams along the rocky coastline. In summer, mountain pastures are dotted with sheep grazing in the 24 hour daylight.
This turf house with red gables and grass-grown roof is one of the oldest and best preserved farms of its kind in Iceland. The house preserves much history about Iceland and its people. A visit to the Museum at Bustarfell is a journey through the history of farming and changes in lifestyle from the beginning of the 18th century to the mid-20th century.
In the year 1770, sadly, the original farm burned down, but fortunately it was quickly rebuilt and was lived in until 1966. Then the family built a new house on Bustarfell which they still live in.
