Nakkula farm was from the prehistoric time originating heritage farm and homestead still on high riverbank of Kemijoki River in Finland once the most productive 560 km long Salmon River in Europe and in Scandinavia, which is of cultural and historical importance. All ended with construction of twenty power dams starting from river's mouth to Gulf of Bothnia.
