It is mostly known for the small micro-brewery, Jämtlands Bryggeri that is located in the village.
Historically, Pilgrimstad has an old history. The village is named after a water well where pilgrims stopped on their pilgrimage travels to Trondheim, Norway. Yet to this day, the inhabitants of the village get their water from this well.
