Norskamerikanere / Norwegian Americans

Migration from Norway to what is now the United States of America began in 1825, and many Norwegians emigrated from the traditional region of Hallingdal , here in south-central Norway. There are more than 4.5 million Norwegian Americans in the United States, and the two countries  have a long tradition of positive relationships.  

Whether your ancestral roots are in this region or in another part of the country, or if you're simply interested in exploring Norway, we invite you to visit Hakkesetstølen in Hallingdal.
