Ørnes trading post and the modernization of Ørnes
Ørnes trading post has a history that stretches back to 1794, when the jekt skipper Elling Pedersen was allowed to run a shop and inn on the site. This made Ørnes to a hub along the coast of Northern Norway, at a time when cities hardly existed and trading posts functioned as centers for the villages. Ørnes trading post became a gathering point for the local community, and remained so for generations. The exhibition also examines the modernization process in Meløy from 1900 to 1950.
