The Båtmans Museum is also located at Ekbacken. The house originally stood on the grounds of Smedby Manor, but was bought by the Österåker Local History Society in 1957. The association moved the house to Ekbacken, where they furnished the croft and used it as a homestead. When the White House came to Ekbacken, the association converted the house into a boatman's museum. The museum was opened in 1992.
