    Description

    Established in 1972 by Elim Lutheran Church to honor the Swedish immigrants who founded the community, Gammelgården Museum of Scandia celebrates the story of all immigrants to their new land. Housed in six buildings on the historic gammelgården or old farm where the community of Scandia was first established, Gammelgården offers historical, educational, and cultural activities. The museum invites visitors to step back in time, experience the stories of Swedish immigrants, and relate them to their own family immigration stories.
