Treasures from Norway

Treasures from Norway honors the Norwegian immigrants that settled this region during the middle part of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These new Americans came to the United States with little more than the clothes on their back and a few personal effects. These personal items, tangible reminders of family they were leaving and the old country, will be displayed from July 1, 2025 to June 22, 2026.
