Norway House

The Norwegian American is a 20- to 28- page+ tabloid-sized newspaper, published 12 times a year in English with two to three pages in Norwegian. Sections include news from Norway, business, sports, opinion, research & science, travel, food & drink, arts & entertainment, Norwegian heritage, Norwegian language resources, and news from the Norwegian-American community. Special expanded issues, produced roughly every third issue, include more color pages to focus in-depth on a subject of interest to Norwegian Americans. A weekly email newsletter highlighting the top stories of each issue.

The Minnesota Peace Initiative serves to raise awareness, educate audiences and foster engagement about the peace process throughout the world.The Peace Initiative was created by Janet Dolan, the 2008 Going Viking Award winner, and her husband, William Moore. They share the vision of creating meaningful programs that build on the longstanding Norwegian tradition of serving as a peacemaker and facilitator for dialogue on various challenging issues related to world peace.

Norway House has a number of other programs throughout the year and that support their mission of preserving and promoting an appreciation and understanding of the American-Norwegian experience.

The Organization has a Kaffebar to recognize and spread Norwegian culture. A key part of Norwegian life involves a good cup of coffee and face-to-face contact. When we see each other again after a spell away, we hug and say, "Thanks for last time!" (Takk for sist!) We take the extra moment to remember our last meeting so we can pick up where we left off.
