Many of the more than 360,000 Danish immigrants who have left their homeland for a new life in the United States are recognized on The Danish Immigrant Wall of Honor. Their stories contribute importantly to the growing repository of family histories at The Danish Immigrant Museum and its Family History & Genealogy Center. The museum eloquently interprets these stories through its fascinating exhibits.
