Scandinavian Heritage

Exploring the Riches of Scandinavian Heritage. The Scandinavian Heritage Association stands as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry woven by the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Nestled in the heart of Minot, North Dakota, the Scandinavian Heritage Park offers a unique journey through the quintessence of Nordic traditions and history.

Visitors to the park can immerse themselves in the beauty of the Gol Stave Church replica from Norway or marvel at the towering Swedish Dala Horse. Each element within the park, from the Danish Windmill to the Finnish Sauna, has been meticulously crafted to represent the essence of Scandinavian design and heritage.

The Association, founded in 1989, not only preserves these cultural treasures but also fosters a sense of community and learning. Through its efforts, the Scandinavian Heritage Association ensures that the legacy of the Nordic countries is celebrated and shared with generations to come.

For those seeking to connect with their roots or simply to appreciate the diverse heritage of Scandinavia, the park is open daily, with volunteers ready to guide you through a world of Scandinavian history like none other. Whether you're walking the grounds or participating in various cultural events, the Scandinavian Heritage Association provides a bridge to the past and a gateway to understanding the Nordic way of life.
