The Nordic Heritage museum is housed in what was originally a school building of 1907 origin. Consequent to sharp decline in enrollments the school eventually closed in 1979. The Nordic Heritage Museum commenced its operations in 1980 in this building. There are three floors housing the various exhibits in the museum.

The first floor represents the 'Dream of America' which is a story of immigration narrated through life-like-diorama exhibits. In short, it is the Scandinavian journey into America in the nineteenth century. The web page of the museum titled Dream of America has more on the evolution of a small northwest community into the present day Seattle.

Two galleries in the second floor focus on the fishing and logging industries where many immigrants found employment by virtue of the skills they brought along from their old country. Useful and treasured items the immigrants brought along are displayed in the Heritage rooms. Three galleries in the west end of the hall are home for many such exhibits. The Current Exhibitions page has more details on these.

The third floor exhibits help to illustrate the common bonds and the differences among the Scandinavians. One gallery is devoted for each of the 5 Nordic countries Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden. To learn more about these you should visit Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden pages.
