Getting around

High Cost of Rural Carriage Travel

Travelers needing hired horses and carriages for a round trip between Slätt and Sundsvall in the 1920s paid 31.36 kronor, which was a significant cost given a carpenter earned about 5 kronor per day. Pre-booking horses weeks in advance was often required for these rural journeys.

Milk was the standard beverage for everyday meals in Swedish households during this period. Water was rarely cited as a mealtime drink because it was often associated with poverty or stinginess.

What people wore

Strict traditional clothing rules in Dalarna

In northern Dalarna, traditional clothing rules were so strict that a woman once returned home crying after being barred from church for wearing an unsuitable apron.

Music

Gramophones used for dance music parties

By around 1905, people began using portable gramophones at social gatherings like weddings and engagement parties to provide music for dancing.

Daily life
