Southwest Wisconsin's Little Norway
Blue Mounds
A pioneer homestead which perpetuates the simple cultural values of our immigrant heritage.
An outstanding and unique collection of Norse antiques has been assembled
in this homestead of an early Norwegian settler. The museum is nestled
in a tiny wooded valley among the foothills of Blue Mounds. The original
cabins built in 1856 have been preserved and are furnished with the arts
and crafts of the pioneer.
The 'Norway Building" built for Chicago's Columbian Exposition of 1893,
is a fine example of ancient Norse church architecture. This building
contains an impressive and colorful collection of folk objects from both
Scandinavia and America.
