A Smorgasbord of Danish Immigrants

A Smorgasbord of Danish Immigrants - Was the initial photographic exhibit at the FHGC in 2004. It featured photographs of Danes who had immigrated to the U.S. in the past 150 years.

This selection of photographs from the exhibit gives the year of immigration and in most cases a short biographical sketch of each immigrant.
