Gamlegården var en viktig by under 1800-talet och en bra bit in i på 1900-talet. Här låg, förutom stora ladugårdar, en såg och en smedja som tillhörde Råbäcks gård.

I smedjan reparerade man de maskiner, redskap och verktyg som användes inom jord- och skogsbruket. I samma hus som smedjan låg också en snickarverkstad. På smedjan jobbade bröderna Holger och Harald fram till 70-talet. Det var deras farfar som kom hit och byggde upp smedjan på 1800-talet. De flesta verktygen, som fortfarande hänger på väggarna, är tillverkade av honom. På bilden ser vi Harald och Holger tillsammans med fästmö, syster och mamma.

Sågen drevs av en ångmaskin som idag finns på Rubens maskinhistoriska samlingar utanför Götene (http://www.rubens.se/index_se.html).

De som jobbade på sågen ryckte också in och gjorde en del ladugårdstjänst när det behövdes.
Idag har sågen och smedjan köpts av en privatperson som har startat en förening med syfte att restaurera sågen och smedjan till ursprungligt skick.

Cachen är en ½-litersburk.

 

 

[English]
Gamlegården was an important village in the 19'th and a good part of the 20'th century. In addition to large barns, a sawmill and a forge were located here. They all belonged to Råbäcks manor.

Here machines and tools used in agriculture and forestry were repaired and maintained. A carpentry was also situated in the same building.

The brothers Holger and Harald both worked as blacksmiths until the 70's. There grandfather came to this site in the 19'th century and established the forge. Most of the tools, still in the forge, were made by him. In the picture above you see Harald and Holger together with fiancé, sister and mother.

The sawmill was powered by a steam engine that today can be found at Rubens maskinhistoriska samlingar close to Götene (http://www.rubens.se/index_se.html).

The other picture show the workers at the sawmill in the 30'th.

Today the sawmill and the forge have been bought by a private person who has initiated an association with the goal to restore the buildings to their original status.

The cache is a ½-litre container.

Kom fram till cachen efter att först ha forserat hög vegetation. Det var inte mycket kvar av byggnaden. TFTC!
