A stroll around the Sjøgata area, with over 100 listed buildings, takes you past galleries, coffee shops, restaurants and private homes in attractively renovated former warehouses, workshops and boat sheds. The History of a Town, available at the museum and tourist office, is an excellent small booklet that brings Mosjøen's history to life.
