The whole thing began during the 1860es when Even Høyesen Nordgarden made part of his farm available for a cattle show in Seljord. The first years the trade was mainly concentrated around farm animals, but eventually, other goods entered the marked. The life and soul of the old marked still is preserved.
Durskun is arranged by Dyrsku'n Arrangement AS.
