The old fjord-side settlement Indre Offerdal was the administration center in the Norwegian municipality of Årdal more than 100 years ago. In those days a main income for Årdal came from the forest industry, and Indre Offerdal had a strategic position. Today, a small museum is built at the shore of Sognefjorden. The ten buildings include a mill, a sawmill, a warehouse and farm buildings dating from the 19th century. The museum is "living" and provides meals as well as accommodation and meeting facilities. There are guided tours from June through August, or by appointment. The museum is 17 km by a mountain road from Årdalstangen through Seimsdalen.
