People in traditional Norwegian clothing gather in an exhibit space at Vesterheim, the Norwegian-American museum and heritage center in Decorah, Iowa. The museum displays more than 33,000 Norwegian and Norwegian-American artifacts, includes 12 historic buildings, a folk-art School, and a library and archives, and explores the widespread immigration of Norwegians to the American Northern Plains in the 19th Century.
Pictured are Johanna Bergan and her children, Margret Zook and James Zook, and Ms. Bergan's father (and the children's grandfather), Michael Bergan.
