  • Spasertur Gjennom Hyllestadgarden - Kulturlandskap Som Har Endra Karakter
    Spasertur gjennom Hyllestadgarden - kulturlandskap som har endra karakter 1865 2 «Midtstaden» Då Hyllestad i 1861 vart utskild som eigen kommune blei Hyllestadgarden «kommunesenter». Hyllestad låg midt i den nye kommunen og vart vald til administrasjonsstad for di det ikkje eksisterte større sentrum verken langs Bøfjorden, Åfjorden eller Skifjorden. Hyllestad var då som no eit balansepunktet mellom Sørbøvåg og Leirvik. I jubileumsboka «Hyllestad kommunen og folket» skriv Johs B. Thue dette om Hyllestad-garden …..: «Vi ruslar opp i det gamle Hyllestadtunet. Februardagen pustar klar og kald mot oss i austaver. Garden, tunet og kyrkjestaden breier seg vakkert ut her, med gravplass som er inngjerda av ein steinmur, der steinkrossar enno stikk opp i tre hjørne som tause vitne om eit eldgamalt handverk, knytt til kvernstein- og krosshogginga. Eit nytt prestegjeld og formannskapsdistrikt vart namnsett etter Hyllestadgarden i 1861, den kongelege resolusjonen om nyhendet kom den 6. mars og skulle settast ut i livet frå 1. juli, som altså er skipingsdagen for Hyllestad kommune. Her i tunet og i hallet ned mot Åfjordbotnen, Hyllestadvikja, blei det nye kommunesenteret etablert. Alle kommunestyre- møter fann stad her i tiår etter tiår. Nett her budde etter kvart lensmannen og postopnaren. Doktorkontoret grodde opp, sameleis telefonstasjon. Den offentlige infrastrukturen fann samlings- staden sin i dette tunet. Dampskipsekspedisjonen med brygge, solide jernpollertar og jarnringar for landfeste, fekk staden sin ved sjøkanten. Der var det også almenning for alle robåtar som kom hit med folk som skulle ordne offentlege saker eller delta i ulike møte». 3 Hyllestadgarden Kyrkjestad frå middelalderen til 1880, flytta til Myklebust Møtestad for kommunestyret 1861 til 1946, flytta til Myklebust Lensmann 1873 til 1937, flytta til Myklebust Tingstad/tingstove frå 1884, i dag bustadhus Postopneri 1873 til 1973.
