Horten is the town just to the north along the fjord, home of a former naval base and the junction for the ferry. Ellen had arranged a tour of the local historical museum with Mr. Odd Bjonnes, one of the curators. The museum was created by the people of Horten to represent life there from WWII to the 70's or so, but much of the 20th century is represented. Replicas of a typical general store, a living room from the 50's (which we recognized), a dentist's office, all kinds of relics and momentos, old pictures. A fascinating collection and a super tour. Thanks, Odd.
Then across the street to the oldest maritime museum in Norway. Guess what my favorite was?!? A really fascinating museum. I wish we'd had time to go back! Check the pics.
