Cory Haala presents When Democrats Won the Heartland with Michael Lansing. In the 1980s, the Midwestern economic collapse caused by the farm crisis and deindustrialization inspired the region's liberal politicians to call on progressive populist traditions to rebuild local, state, and national Democratic parties. Cory Haala looks at the Midwest's central role in asserting an updated populism wielded by grassroots activists, politicians, and a wide-ranging coalition of voters to counter Reagan-era conservativism.

How did a Norwegian immigrant family in the 1800s pack their trunk? Roger Hellesvig, as Ole Olesen, explains and packs for a voyaging family. Enjoy an hour of stories about Norwegian culture, learn a few words in Norwegian, and learn what it was like to immigrate to the United States in the mid-1800s. What is the most important thing to pack in your family's ONE shared trunk that you can bring on the boat? What happened to all the things you had to leave behind? Why are round-top trunks better than a flat-top trunk? Re-enactor Roger Hellesvig becomes Ole Olesen, a Norwegian immigrant, who tells how his family planned and packed for their voyage to the United States. This presentation is for all ages. After questions from the audience, all are invited to view the Saga Center at Norway House, an interactive display highlighting modern Norway and its connection to the United States. The Saga Center is included in your ticket price.
Build your own terrarium in this hands on workshop! Perfect gift or outing for Mother’s Day! This workshop is great for all levels of plant lovers, whether you are a beginner or experienced. The beauty about terrariums is that you don't need much of a green thumb to maintain them because they thrive in lower light environments and are mostly self-sustaining ecosystems. The $75 cost covers all of the materials, plants, hands-on instruction, and you will receive 1 drink token that can be used during the class or redeemed at a later date. Feel free to bring any trinkets you would like to include in your terrarium to make it unique and let your personality shine through!
