About 4 km east of Stokkseyri is the former Baugsstaðir dairy in a single corrugated iron building. It was founded in 1905 by local farmers and was in operation until 1952. It was the last of the former thirty dairies of this type. The butter from here was sold as "Danish butter" in England, among other places. In 1975 it became a museum and is the only old dairy in Iceland to still display the original equipment. They were powered by a small overshot water wheel.
