Destination Stoughton- A Norwegian weekend of fun!
October 25-26, 2024
Our “featured” event: The Wisconsin State Rosemaling Association's Holiday Bazaar: Saturday, October 26 from 9 AM – 2 PM. Our community loves to be creative! During our annual Fall Bazaar, see how our members get creative with the rosemaling styles and add so much fun to this amazing heritage art. It's a "gotta-be-there" event! Finding rosemaled Christmas ornaments is an annual tradition for many rosemaling fans. We will have traditional rosemaled pieces along with nordic holiday handiwork and lots of fun! This is your opportunity to purchase rosemaled items and learn more about this group’s activities, classes, competitions, and sales. A wide variety of quality items will be offered – you won’t want to miss this shopping opportunity.
Location: Stoughton Senior Center Annex, 248 W Main St #1 Stoughton, WI

Livsreise- Norwegian Heritage Center- 277 W. Main Street. New hours: Open from 9:30-5:00 but closed from 12-12:30 PM. Free admission. Innovators and Inventors is an exciting new exhibit on loan from the Vesterheim Museum that celebrates the creativity and ingenuity of Norwegian immigrants and their descendants in America. This exhibit will also highlight some contemporary women inventors or innovators and others with ties to Wisconsin. Livsreise is also hosting an exhibit of several Norwegian immigrant trunks, all of which belong to someone who settled in the Midwest. If they could talk each one would tell a story of trials and tribulations, hopes and dreams for a better life in America.
