MEMBER EVENT: Sons of Norway September Lodge Event

The Sons of Norway invite all RAMAC members to learn about Scandinavian history in Racine County.

Historic Norway Lutheran Church, Colonel Heg Graveside talk, 
and Museum & Norwegian Boat 

Our September Lodge event will be held at Col. Heg Park out in the Town of Norway. The day will begin with a graveside talk by Member David K. Miller about Col Hans Christian Heg who died while serving in the Civil War.  Col Heg was a Norwegian immigrant, a noted abolitionist, and best known for leading the Scandinavian 15th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment for the Union Army.   

Next, we will proceed to the Historic Norway Lutheran Church for a tour given by neighbor Jean Jacobson.  We'll then visit the Norwegian Museum in Col. Heg Park, which has a boat that was donated by Nordlyset Lodge member Bill Schalk's family.

Following the day's events, everyone is welcome to join us for lunch.  If the weather is good we'll eat in the Pavillion next to the Museum:  bring your own sandwiches, and we'll donate the drinks and dessert.  If the weather isn't good, we'll meet down the road at Crossover Cantina & Eatery on Hwy 36 (28023 Kramer Road; pay on your own).  We look forward to seeing you!
