The museum consists of buildings from the surrounding area and resembles a typical farmstead in Dalarna of the 18th century. The oldest building is a threshing barn built in 1679 and moved to Hedemora gammelgård in 1920. The first building moved to the museum, in 1908, was a residential building called Storstugan. Altogether the museum consists of twelve buildings, excluding the restrooms, of which eight were present at the opening 1915.
