The natural beauty of the Driftless Region. The Norwegian Heritage preserved in the buildings and artifacts. The families and friendships that blossom through volunteering at Norskedalen. At its heart, Norskedalen is about people, those who have built lives in this area and built lives here, and those who carry on the traditions started so long ago wherever they may live.

Visit Norskedalen and see the homes that were built by the earliest settlers to Western Wisconsin. Trace family genealogy in our library or discover new perspectives of Norwegian immigration through three galleries that trace the development of Norwegian-American culture.

Spend time on hiking trails that wander through 400 acres of wooded bluff land, across streams, next to natural springs and waterfalls, amidst natural flora and fauna. Learn of the nature that surrounds you on each trail, and perhaps search for trolls and nisse throughout your visit!
