Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Tuesday, November 19, 2024.
Step back in time and experience the exquisite 33-room Turnblad Mansion decorated for the holidays. Learn about the fascinating Turnblad family, the art and architecture of the mansion, and the history of early Minneapolis. In 1907, the Turnblads, a Swedish immigrant family, completed the construction of their castle-like mansion. Twenty-one years later, they gave it all away to the community, founding the museum and cultural center that would become the American Swedish Institute, where we can experience Swedish, Swedish-American, and Nordic culture. We will enjoy a Swedish smorgasbord buffet including beet salad, cucumber dill salad, assorted bread and butter, lingonberries, mashed potatoes, Swedish meatballs, coffee and water. We will stop at Ingebretsen's Scandinavian Gifts and Foods to admire the beauty, integrity, and craftsmanship of imports from throughout Scandinavia. Shop for gift items, authentic clothing, baked goods, and traditional Nordic foods, including lutefisk. This trip will get you in the holiday spirit.
Lunch: Swedish Smorgasbord buffet filled with beet salad, cucumber dill salad, assorted bread and butter, lingonberries, mashed potatoes, Swedish meatballs, coffee and water.
