We are now at Gammelgården Museum in Scandia and this is an old Swedish church.


Inside the house where the priest used to live.


The house from the outside.


Gammelgården, a very interesting place to visit.


Here I am outside Nya Duvemåla. Unfortunately it wasn't open for the season yet.


Glader cemetery where many Swedish emigrants are buried.


One of many beautiful gravestones.


A nice sign tells us welcome to Lindström.


The pretty watertower in Lindström.


A statue of Vilhelm Moberg together with his bike.


The statue of Karl-Oskar and Kristina, the most famous Swedish emigrants.


After the sightseeing we all went to Mark and M.J. for coffee and delicious rhubarb pie.


Here I am together with M.J. who planned this Swedish heritage day for us.
