The farm has been in a single family's possession for seven generations. Each family member has put its mark on it.
Jonas Olsson's daughter Kristina took in 1895 over the farm Bortom Åa. There was a long tradition of building. Kristina looked up to his father and often referred to him when it came to the chores on the farm.
Kristina, only 18 years old, married with Mårten Persson, also born in Fågelsjö. Mårten ran various trade. Kristina continued to live a traditional life as a farmer's wife. She remained the sole owner of the farm, which was unusual for a woman at that time. Mårten was a new-time man. After training for bookkeeper in Stockholm, he returned to the home. The forest industry was on the rise and the forest had had a financial value. The merchant Mårten became a respected man in the village and he was elected in the municipal council and in the school council.
Mårten and Kristina stayed in Gammelgården until 1910, when they moved the new residence on the other side of the yard. The new house was built in a completely new style, and because it was believed that it was built with inspiration from emigrant family members in America, it was called the American House. When they moved, all items, clothing were left in favor of newly purchased items.
The American House was decorated with new furniture and household utensils. All that old was left in Gammelgården where it was preserved for future generations. The couple was childless and at the time of her death in 1943 Kristina gave the farm to the former Loos municipality. The owner today is Ljusdal municipality and the operation is managed by Fågelsjö Hembygdsförening.
Gammelgården is an invaluable source of knowledge of construction, self-catering, crafts and folk art. That the farm is in its original location helps make it very valuable. Some of the buildings date back to the 18th century.
Fågelsjö Gammelgård Beyond Åa is one of the decorated farmhouses in Hälsingland that were listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012. It was then declared as building memorial by the County Administrative Board in Gävleborg since 2004.
