Some places don’t just preserve history — they live it. Tucked into Wisconsin’s Driftless hills, Norskedalen is more than a museum or nature center. It’s a living story of Norwegian-American resilience, shaped by floods, farmhouses, trolls, and tradition. As it nears its 50th anniversary, this valley continues to grow, guided by a deep respect for the land and the people who once made it home. If heritage has a heartbeat, you’ll hear it echo through the trails and timber of Coon Valley.
If you’re headed East with time for an off the beaten path experience, add this one to your list. The Norwegian American has more.
