 Scandinavian Heritage Center
A good way to start your visit to the Scandinavian Heritage Park is to stop first at the Edward T. and
Leona
B.
Larson Visitors
Center. This uniquely-styled building houses the Minot
Convention and Visitors Bureau and it's wide array of tourist
information; the office of the Scandinavian Heritage Association;
and a Gift Shop of Minot area souvenirs and Scandinavian-interest
items and books; on the main level. The Gift Shop is a pleasant place to pause while contemplating the next place to explore.
The
next lower level contains the year-around offices of the Norsk
Hostfest Association, well-known as "North America's Largest
Scandinavian Festival" which is held annually each October,
featuring nationally famous entertainment from U.S., Canada, and
Scandinavia. Tickets are on sale each year from mid-May
until Hostfest in October.
The
second lower level is the home of Thor Lodge 4-067 of Sons of Norway as
well as the meeting place for local Danish, Finnish, Icelandic,
and Swedish societies. The
Scandinavian
Reference
Center is also available by appointment on this level.
Handicapped-accessible restroom facilities are available. All levels may be reached by the elevator or stairs.
