Amazing little heritage museum, chock full of artifacts and endless information from the friendly volunteers. They were so nice and chatted with us at length about the local history, explaining how this town is the first permanent Norwegian settlement in North America. The church itself is a relic of the past, with a newer adjacent building that housed even more artifacts. Furniture, art, clothing, historical objects, trolls, and more. Open June through September.
Very nice Norwegian cultural heritage museum with an emphasis on the Sloopers who comprised the first documented organized emigration from Norway to America. Many Sloopers eventually settled in this area and many of their descendants remain in the area today.
Many of the museums artifacts originated from these first immigrants.

Can't believe I didn't take pictures. Oh, well just a reason to return when I have more time. Today was Summer 2018 Grand Opening and they were setting up for hours. Seeking sustenance or cold soda? There's a cafe in the general store / gas station across the road.
Must stop here! Amazing Norwegian history museum with friendly and helpful people
Inside this quaint little church is the history of the Norwegian people that settled in the area. The museum highlights the culture of the people as well as famous personalities. Free admission but donations accepted. Watch for special events!
