A real Norwegian-American prairie village
The Western Norwegian Emigration Centre is an open-air museum of buildings built by Norwegian-Americans in the USA and later moved to Norway. Visit the Emigrant Church, the school, the doctor's office, a residential house, town hall and prison.
We tell the story of the great Norwegian emigration to America, and about emigration, immigration, and cultural encounters in our time.
