Housed in the historic Turnblad mansion, a former residence of Swedish immigrants, the American Swedish Institute is a gathering place for people to learn about the traditions, migrations, crafts and arts of the Nordic culture. It doesn't sound like it would be fun, but its gorgeous, unique, has a great restaurant and is worth it to learn about Minnesotan nordic immigrant history.
