We are currently preparing a new theme exhibition, which tells the story of the forest’s importance for the iron works and the villagers of Fiskars throughout its 375-year history. Thanks to the vast forests and waterways, Western Uusimaa was an excellent place to establish iron works. For the ironworks operations such as the blast furnase, a significant amount of charcoal was needed. Over time, Fiskars ironworks acquired large land and forest areas, of which approximately 15,000 hectares still remain. In the exhibition, we highlight the significance of the forest from both forestry, recreational, and symbolic perspectives.
