HISTORICAL FIGURES IN ALMELUND
Many Swedish immigrants are located in Almelund.  They can't vote, eat or even speak - but they are located throughout Almelund and at the museum and want you to find them!   The hand-painted figures depict the history of the village.  Can you find them all?    This is a fun event for children!    Click here for a brochure.

· A girl with braids picking apples.
· Farmer Paul and his Holstein cow depicting the agricultural aspect of local history.
