By the late 19th century, it was clear what a devastating impact the great redistribution of land holdings was having on the nation’s heritage buildings. In 1915, the board of the Värmland Museum Society, led by Wilhelm Welin, proposed that heritage buildings should be preserved in an open-air museum along the lines of Stockholm’s Skansen in a suitable location in Karlstad. Two years later it was decided that the museum would be sited in Mariebergsskogen, the part of Karlstad that 20 years earlier had been left to the city in Conrad Höök’s will. The open-air museum in Mariebergsskogen was inaugurated on 16 August 1925.
