  The museum opened in 1929 & is dedicated to the study of the role Sweden & Swedish Americans have played in US culture & history. The Turnblad Mansion Museum features exhibits & special events.

  Check out all the awesome wood carvings and ceramic fireplaces. Also, go on up to the attic and check out the theater that was only used once!

  Be sure to keep an eye out for the house goat!

  With its modern building expansion, the ASI's museum store has expanded its offerings considerably to celebrate modern Scandinavian design, with a few sacred nods to the past, such as Dala horses.

  Culturally significant this magnificent castle built in 1908 is an excellent example of what a Swedish immigrant can do with his news paper empire, FIKA and the new wing is a great community space.
