Nordic Heritage Museum |
This is the only museum in the United States dedicated to legacy of immigrants from the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The museum focuses on Scandinavian cultural contributions to life in the Pacific Northwest from the 18th-century to the present. Displays trace immigrants' journeys from Europe to America. Large galleries re-create the immigrants' small town settlements, the lumber and fishing industries and contributions from each of the five Nordic groups.
Exhibits include handicrafts, textiles, personal effects and changing art exhibits from Scandinavia.
The Museum is housed in a 1907 red brick school building, which in its time served to educate Scandinavian and other immigrant families, largely in the period from the 1880's to the early 1920's.
This is just one of the many Historical Museums located throughout Washington.
