If you follow the road down to the bay you find the croft Litleenget, built in 1827 by Arnt Hegdal and Guri Nilsdatter Ytterøy and it is the same still standing here today. Chip shavings was used on the roof. Towards the end of the 1800s, the farm house had an extension added and now.

This was the farmer’s cottage Litleenget, which Arnt Hegdal and Guri Nilsdatter Ytterøy built in 1827. The living room they set up this year is the old-fashioned living room that stands today. Chip was used on the roof. Towards the end of the 19th century the living room had an extension, and now brick was laid on the entire roof. This stone (which still is on the roof) was produced on the brickworks that Jørgen Richter operated on Rostad. The mine was then replaced with an oven, but you can still sees where it was.

After Arnt followed 3 generations of Johannes. Everyone ran the croft in combination with fishing and handicrafts. In 1906, the place became free-hold, and then got the name “Hegadalsness”.New times followed with electricity powered light in 1920, the telephone in 1925, running water in 1933 – with a large pail as the first sink.

Another farm house was built in 1934, for Anna By (mother-in-law of Johannes II). The building cost of the entire building was NOK 4000 as shown in an old building account.

In 1949, work began on a new road down to the farm. The utensils were spade and skewers. Then road was finished in 1952 and one of the first cars going down the road to Hegdalsness was the fire truck – because the barn burned down. Today, the houses are used as leisure property.
