CEO Chris Johnson will speak to us about different ways we can connect to the Vesterheim Museum via a live online presentation. The Vesterheim Museum in Decorah, Iowa was initally started in 1877 when a group of Norwegian Americans began collecting and preserving objects at Luther College, documenting their chapter of the immigrant story, making them pioneers in the reservaion of cultural diversity in America.  The early collection has grown into on of the most comprehensive museums in the United States dedicated to a single immigrant group-Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum, now an independent not-for-profit organization accredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM).

We are also very pleased that we were able to get together for Syttende Mai on the 17th of May, 2021.  We enjoyed a picnic followed by a small parade at Beardsley Park in Sun City West.  It was great to see everyone’s smiling faces!
