Join the Daughters of Norway Eva Nansen Lodge and Vesterheim Collection Manager Jennifer Kovarik to explore the immigrant experience through stories associated with artifacts in Vesterheim’s collection. Between 1825 and 1980, nearly one million Norwegians left for new lives in America. We’ll consider the reasons for leaving, what they brought, and where they settled.
This is an in-person open meeting. Visitors wishing to attend the meeting should email lodge member Sheryl Farrand at sfssecretplace@sbcglobal.net to RSVP. Jennifer will join the meeting remotely to share the presentation virtually.
