    Hiking

    The fish-drying shed, owned by Jón Gunnlaugsson from Bræðrapartur, was built around 1890 and used to stand above Skarfatangavör.

    The shed was the last of its kind in Akranes. It was moved to Akranes Folk Museum in 1961 where it was rebuilt.

    The boat shed is a reconstruction of a traditional boat shed and was presented to the Museum in 1961 in memory of Jón Gunnlaugsson. The shed was built to house Jón's rowing boat, Sæunn MB 9, which can be seen inside the Akranes Folk Museum.
