Välkommen!

New Sweden was chartered in 1989 for the purpose of sharing, promoting, strengthening and maintaining our Swedish culture and heritage.

We accomplish this through a variety of activities sponsored by the organization. We offer you lectures and exhibits, music and dance, Swedish picnics and potlucks, publications (including our very own newsletter), language, genealogical and history studies.

We welcome your interest in the New Sweden Cultural Heritage Society of Oregon and Washington and we look forward to having you join us as a member of our organization.
