Visit a place where history comes alive
and contemporary artists and community activities are celebrated with vibrant exhibits
and events. Dedicated to collecting, preserving and educating since its founding
in 1980, the Nordic Heritage Museum is the only museum in the United States to honor
the legacy of immigrants from the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Norway and Sweden.
