Join the Sons of Norway Tusenvann Lodge based in Isle, Minnesota, 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.
Visitors wishing to attend the online meeting should email lodge member Ann Kern at kernkom@msn.com to RSVP. The program starts at 1:00 pm.
