The old trading farm Breidablikk has been an important meeting place in the village since 1845. In 1980, Breidablikk became Hamarøy Folk Museum .

At Handelsgården Breidablikk you will find the farmhouse, a converted Nordland house from 1860, with a beautiful Northern Norwegian garden, Kapellangården, Kramboden Antikvariat, barn with attached barn, mortuary, drying house and loft for bedclothes and a storehouse. 

The Hamsun Center sometimes invites to literary banquets in the old living rooms of the farmhouse, and the pub "Teodor med brokk" in the barn. The trading house is also used in connection with school outreach.

Breidablikk is an old trading farm from the mid-19th century. The farm has its history all the way back to the Iron Age, but most of the houses that stand there today were built when a merchant named Jens Pedersen took over the farm around 1845 and started trading in the farm's storehouse. The trade developed rapidly throughout the 19th century to become an extensive business that included his own shipping company, clothing and bakery. In connection with the barn, the merchant built a courtroom; a meeting room where local matters, court sessions, were held. The trading business lasted until 1963, when the business was moved to where the Spar store is located today. The merchant family lived in the main house until the end of the 1960s, when the house was gradually rented out for residential purposes. In the 1970s, an initiative was taken to turn the facility into a museum, and Hamarøy Folk Museum was opened as a museum in 1980.
