Arvid Kallstrom's Statue "Nils Dacke" was erected in 1956 in memory of Nils Dacke and his uprising against King Gustav Vasa. Nils Dacke was at his time (the 16th century) one of Europe's great freedom fighters. He was very successful, until he was betrayed and killed by the king's German mercenaries.

A memorial cross put up at the edge of a pre-historical interment. According to the legend a market salesman came wandering to the village of Björkmossa. There a farmer promised to take him over the lake Hjorten to the village of Ånhult. On the way to the lake the farmer struck him dead and buried him in a mound of stones. He regretted his deed and put up a cross which said: I'm sleeping and I'm not dead. May the Lord forgive his sins that put me here. The Year of 1669. A copy of the original cross was put up here in 1981. The old one is badly damaged by decay and is located in "Virserums hembygdspark", an open-air museum in Virserum.
