Starting the in mid 1800s emigrants from the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden came to the US is search of good land to farm. So many settled in North Dakota that today they make up 38% of the state’s population. This small park, established in 1990, celebrates the heritage of each country with replica buildings and statues.
Most of the park is accessible but visitors in wheelchairs may need assistance on some of the hills. The Sigdal House and the stabbur are not accessible due to steps. The visitor center which is mainly a gift shop has a sidewalk that slopes up and a door that opens out making entering awkward.
A section of on-street parking has signs designating it for RV parking.
