Your Museum in the Heart of the Continent

The Danish Immigrant Museum is dedicated to preserving the culture and history of the Danish people who immigrated to America. Extensive collections of artifacts as well as special temporary and traveling exhibits are on display in a striking, modern half-timbered building situated on 30 acres of plush rolling hills in western Iowa.

With paid admission you will also visit the Morning Star Chapel and Jens Dixen Cabin, both located on the museum grounds. You may chose to walk the meandering “Friendship Path” or drive the few short blocks to Bedstemor’s House. This charming Victorian home was built in 1910 and has been authentically restored and decorated to the time in history when it was first built.  You may also wish to stop in and visit our Family History and Genealogy Center located on Main Street.
