Scandia

Keep an eye out for barn quilts and statues of Dala horses as you make your way thorough Scandia. They are hints of the town’s history as the first Swedish immigrant settlement in Minnesota.

Although farming is no longer the main enterprise in Scandia, the open views and rolling hills that attracted the first Swedish settlers are not difficult to find. And you can still see many of the original immigrant buildings at the Gammelgården and Hay Lake School museums (Explore Minnesota Website).
