The Museum of Danish America in the southwest Iowa town of Elk Horn is marking its 40th anniversary this weekend. Museum spokeswoman Amelia Juhl says they’re working with several Norwegian and Swedish organizations to showcase their traditions — and the facility.

Juhl says visitors are welcome to bring their own seating, beverages, and lawn games to Sankt Hans Aften (sonkt hans OFT-en) or Saint John’s Eve. Events will be underway on the rim of the 30-acre Jens Jensen Prairie Landscape Park.

In the event of rain, most of the activities will be held indoors. While visiting the Museum of Danish America, you can check out the many detailed exhibits.
