Bogstadgård, the historic estate and farm located alongside the lake, Bogstadvannet, was built in the late 1700s and has been home to many notable Norwegians, including merchants, councilmen, and even a former Prime Minister of Norway. Bogstadgård is now owned by the municipality of Oslo and is in cooperation with the Norwegian Museum of Culture and History.
The beautiful grounds around the estate are popular for outdoor activities. The trails take you down to the lake and into the forest above the estate. Bring hiking boots and a picnic and enjoy a day around Bogstadgård and if the weather is nice, take a dip in the lake.

Bogstadgård Farm:
- There's a short history of the museum and a gift shop in the main barn. The farm maintains a small vegetable and flower garden, many farm animals, and horse stables. In the spring, you can peak into the nursery where calves, lamb, and kids are resting with there mothers. In the fall, you can see farmer sear sheep. The farm hosts festivals for families all year long as well as art exhibitions for local artists.
