Gammelgården means Old Farm in Swedish. Visitors can step back in history and experience the lives of early Swedish immigrants in the only open air museum devoted to Swedish immigration in the United States.
Visit the many buildings on Gammelgården Museum's 11 acres site. Your tour guide will give a lots of information about the Välkommen Hus, Präst Hus, Gammel Kyrkan, Ladugård, Immigrant Hus and Swedish Stuga. Visitors can get a glimpse of the daily lives of these immigrants and participate in events and classes to learn more about the culture and times of the immigrants.
As evidenced by the town's name, Scandia has a rich Scandinavian heritage. Scandia was the site of what is believed to have been the first Swedish immigrant settlement in the State of Minnesota. In 1850, the first log cabin was built on the shores of Hay Lake. The first sanctuary of Elim Lutheran Church was built in 1856 on a site near Hay Lake.
Gammelgarden Museum is owned by Elim Lutheran Church and since 1972 has preserved, presented, and promoted Swedish immigrant heritage and history, with events such as Spelmansstämma, Midsommarafton, and Dalapalooza. The latter is a reference to the Dalecarlian horses the city has erected to welcome visitors, in much the same way Saint Paul, Minnesota uses Peanuts characters.
Visitor comments
The Gammelgarden Museum has a main building with Swedish art, furniture, etc., which was free to browse. I think some of the displays change from time to time. There was a special display of Swedish copper works. Also, in the main building is a gift shop with lots of Swedish items and foods at reasonable prices. The main attraction is the collection of farm buildings, a church and a house for a preacher. You can walk around and look in the windows, but don't expect to see much. We went back the next day to get the tour and it was well worth the cost. The tour guide knew his stuff. He made it fun and interesting and was able to answer all of our questions. This was my favorite place to visit in the Chisago Lakes area.
We love visiting the Gammelgarden on days when there are people dressed up and giving tours. It is a very fun and educational living history museum. Great for all ages.

North Dakota Waterfall
An ambling two-mile hike on 07 Aug 2015 I took through forest and plain to visit North Dakota's only natural waterfall in the Sheyenne State Forest near Fort Ransom along the Sheyenne River Valley Scenic Byway.
To reach the Martinson Bridge trailhead from the community of Fort Ransom, head southeast on the Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway (Valley Rd.) and look for signs for the Martinson Bridge Trailhead located about 1-mile south on 122nd St. SE. GPS: N 46.514° & W 97.868°.
