The Skagafjörður Folk Museum is an outdoor settlement museum that was established in 1948 when the National Museum of Iceland acquired the rights to use the old town of Glaumbær at Langholt. It is also a center for housing Skagafjörður artifacts.
The turf houses in Glaumbær were lived in up until the year 1947 when the National Museum of Iceland acquired the site. The Skagafjörður Folk Museum, founded on May 29, 1948, obtained the rights to use the town and opened an exhibition there on June 15, 1952. The museum's turf houses contain many items; most are tools related to domestic life and techniques used in an earlier era. The complex consists of thirteen turf houses, six with front-facing gables. The site is unique among Icelandic turf farms insofar as very small stones are used in the walls in a way that is rarely found in the municipality of Glaumbær.
