This became a turning point in Norwegian history and is considered the point at which Christianity first took a solid foothold in Norway. 

Egge Museum is an open air museum, which includes a distinctive nineteenth century square farm-yard featuring buildings originating from farms in the area.

The museum also covers newer history of agriculture and an old street from the town of Steinkjer.

Newer history from World War II is presented at Falstadsenteret in Levanger.
