“Gammelgården” means Old Farm in Swedish. Here visitors can step back in history and experience the lives of early Swedish immigrants in an open-air museum devoted to Swedish immigration in the United States.
Today, in historic buildings that have been carefully preserved and restored, visitors can get a glimpse of the daily lives of Swedish-American immigrants and participate in events and classes to learn more about the culture and times of these immigrants.
Visit the grounds and buildings on Gammelgården Museum’s 11 acres site:
Välkommen Hus, Präst Hus (pastor’s house, 1868), Gammelkyrkan (old church, 1856), Ladugård (barn, 1879), Immigrant Hus (immigrant house, 1855) and
Swedish Stuga (peasant house).
