AN IMMIGRANT'S TALE

Norwegian Immigration

Using an immigrant trunk as a focal point, I go over what it was like to immigrate in the 1800s. Participants will discover the choices immigrants had to make in moving to America. They will also learn about some of the Norwegian customs that go along with some of the items in the trunk. Below is a list of the places I have presented my program on Norwegian Immigration:
