Elverum has served as a forestry and trading centre in the Glomma valley since the 19th century. The town lies beside Norway’s longest river, in an inland landscape shaped by forests, farming and timber transport. Elverum’s wartime place in national history is marked by the Elverum Authorisation: in April 1940, the Storting gave the King and government authority to act while Parliament could not meet. The Norwegian Forest Museum explores forestry, hunting and fishing, linking the town’s past with the surrounding woods.
