The Fourth Annual New Sweden Heritage Center May Fest was held May 6, 2017.
It was established to create awareness of the Swedish heritage in the area and to generate interest and support in the ongoing plans for the Heritage Center. Those plans include renovation of the Peterson/Newquist house and creation of a museum and learning center.
Each year some aspects of life in the community are featured, families, genealogy charts, etc.
This year our theme was centered on the small communities settled by Swedish immigrants, including New Sweden, Kimbro, Lund, Carlson, and Manda.
