Syttende Mai

Nordmarka Lodge Sons of Norway will join the Friends of Valley Grove in celebrating Syttende Mai this year. Everyone will gather at Valley Grove to hear the St. Olaf hardanger fiddlers play in the old wooden church.

Musical duo of cellist Martha Larson and guitarist Brian Johnson will follow with original compositions from their recent album Valley Grove. Coffee and cookies will be available in the stone church, along with a pop-up exhibit featuring the old bur oak tree that blew down in 2018, and a display of the four tapestries depicting the history of Valley Grove churches and the immigrants who founded them.
