Visit a museum
At the Stiklestad National Cultural Centre you will find an outdoor museum with exhibitions and guided tours during the summer. The St. Olav Drama is a play depicting the battle at Stiklestad where St. Olav engaged the king's army in the year 1030. This is a key moment in Norwegian history and is considered to be the point at which Christianity first took a solid foothold in Norway. Explore all this at The Stiklestad National Cultural Centre.
Egge Museum is another open air museum, which includes a distinctive 19th century farm-yard with buildings originating from farms in the area. The museum also covers newer history of agriculture and an old street from the town of Steinkjer.
History from World War II is presented at Falstadsenteret in Levanger.
