NORWEGIAN AMERICAN IMMIGRANT FAMILY MONUMENT COMMISSION

LAKE MILLS, IA

The Norwegian American Immigrant Family Monument Commission in Lake Mills, Iowa, is a non-profit organization established to honor the original Norwegian settlers of the area and their descendants. The monument, which was dedicated in 2004, stands as a tribute to the Norwegian immigrants that helped to shape the community and its culture.

The monument was created by a team of local artists and sculptors and is made up of three elements: the Norwegian Immigrant Family Monument, the Norwegian Immigrant Statue, and the Norwegian Immigrant Memorial. The Norwegian Immigrant Family Monument is an eight-foot tall granite sculpture that features a family of three, representing the original Norwegian settlers. The Norwegian Immigrant Statue is a six-foot tall bronze sculpture of a young boy, representing the future generations of Norwegian immigrants. The Norwegian Immigrant Memorial is a two-foot tall granite base with a bronze plaque inscribed with the names of the original Norwegian settlers.

The Norwegian American Immigrant Family Monument Commission also serves to preserve and promote Norwegian culture and heritage in the Lake Mills community. The commission sponsors a variety of events throughout the year, including a Norwegian Heritage Day and a Norwegian Christmas celebration. The commission also works with local organizations to present educational programs about Norwegian culture and history.

The Norwegian American Immigrant Family Monument Commission is a testament to the contributions of the original Norwegian settlers and their descendants, and a reminder of their legacy in the Lake Mills area.
