Many people don’t know of the tight bonds between Vest Agder and America. Ninth graders from Vest Agder know.
Many schoolchildren from this Norwegian county have documented this likeness, and their project is actually one of the two projects which will be shown on the upcoming exhibition at Heritage Hall. The other project at the exhibition is named “The Role of the Norwegian America Line”.
Roundtrip to America is curated by Greta Lafayette and the Norwegian Immigration Association Exhibit Committee.
At the opening night, the creator of the exhibit, Siv Ringdal will also present her new book Lapskaus Boulevard. The Norwegian Brooklyn Revisited.
