The Swedish Heritage Society will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Swedish American Museum, June 17 & 18, in Swedesburg.

Swedish American Museum Vice President Trish Woepking, shares what’s coming up, “On June 17 and 18 we’re going to celebrate our 30th Anniversary Celebration, Midsommer. In Sweden they celebrate the beginning of summer and we have a group of five accomplished musicians, they’re called J-A-E-R-V, Jaerv, they were here three years ago, and they were just outstanding so we invited them back. They’re coming straight from Sweden and then they go to Minneapolis to the Swedish Institute the next day.”

During the two-day event the museum and gift shop will be open. They will also host a  Swedish quilt raffle, self-tours of early Swedesburg, Swedish folk musicians, horse and mule wagon tours and a Viking reenactment.
