History evening at Hägnan

Sweden underwent radical changes during the early 1900s. The industralisation, the urbanization and the new technologies opened up possibilities to communication - both people and ideas traveled faster. In the economical grownt was optimism but also concern. How was the everyday life in the villages outside of Luleå affected by the industrial technical growth?

The evening begins with a dramatization, exploring the pros and cons of different light sources around the turn of the last century. Senior Lecturer Roine Viklund shares the story of Norrbotten’s journey Out of the Darkness. We will take a coffee break at Kafé Fägnan (at cost price) and round off the evening with a conversation about the questions raised by history.

Kafé Fägnan is open from 6 PM-8 PM and the Country store from 5 PM-8 PM.

We gather in the large farmhouse, Storgården. The house is heated but can be a bit drafty, we therefore recommend that you dress warmly.

The activities are in Swedish. Welcome to a brilliant evening!
