Notable people
Notable people
• Johan Nordhagen (1856–1956, born in Veldre), a well-known graphic artist whose graphic prints are mostly motives from Veldre • Guttorm P. Haugen, a poet and writer who described the wilderness of the large forests and the value of natural living as opposed to life in the city • One can debate whether Alf Prøysen came from Veldre, or the neighboring Rudshøgda, but his ties to the district were deeply rooted. His motives grew out of his working-class peasant childhood. His folk tunes are some of the most important contributions to the national heritage.
