Becoming American: Swedish Pioneers in Nebraska [Summer Speaker Series] In-Person

Presented by Laureen Riedesel

In the latter half of the 19th century, Swedes were among the largest groups that emigrated to Nebraska. They caught “Amerikafeber” and came to claim their “free land,” full of hope and promise. The construction of churches and schools followed the building of their soddies and barns. Learn about the Swedish immigrant experience, which shares much in common with Czechs, Germans, and other ethnic groups immigrating in the 19th century.
