Description
The last day for Internet Registration was Mar 6, 2025 11:59 PM.
Meet expert tour guide and speaker, Doug Ohman, to learn about the Swedish immigration in Minnesota. Keep an eye out for barn quilts and statues of Dala horses as you make your way thorough the rural countryside around Scandia. Doug has incorporated a variety of historic sites on this riding tour. Possible stops will be made at Swedish farmsteads, Churches, Cemetery, School, or Museum. (Some sites are managed by volunteer organizations or are family operations that are subject to last minute changes.)In addition to enjoying the sights along the way, planned stops include Swede Hollow, Hay Lake School, Moody Round Barn, Chisago Lakes Lutheran Church, and Taylors Falls.
Midway through the tour, enjoy a delicious Swedish luncheon at Jake’s On The Lake, a cozy American restaurant known for its comfort food. The meal will feature Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy, lingonberries, dinner rolls, green beans, a cinnamon dessert, and a beverage. A vegetarian option is also available.
Doug has noted that most stops on the tour are accessible, except for the barn.
We hope you’ll join us for this enriching and memorable experience!
