Description

Information concerning a three-day festival sponsored jointly by Augustana College and the Sioux Falls area community and the Nordland Heritage Foundation, founded in 1978 "to support and promote the preservation of the Norwegian heritage in America in all its forms, particularly the heritage of the Norwegian Settlers of the northern prairies and plains." Its first major project was moving the 1884 Berdahl home to the campus of Augustana College, Sioux Falls; it was later joined by the Beaver Creek church built in 1892, 15 miles south of Sioux Falls. In 2002, the Rolvaag Cabin was moved to Heritage Park, as well.
