The Jón Sigurðsson Museum

Danish rule in the 19th century.

There is an exhibition on Jón's life and work in the main building in Hrafnseyri called FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION. His name will always be linked to the establishment of the Icelandic state, and after his death in 1879, he became a symbol of the Icelandic nation. A replica of his childhood turf home is situated in Hrafnseyri, where you can enjoy coffee and some Icelandic pastries. The area also features a charming wooden church, which was consecrated in 1886.
