Hello! I haven’t been on this page in awhile, but was wondering if anyone knows about the celebrations that are happening in Norway this year for the 200th anniversary of the first Norwegian emigrants leaving for the US on the ship, Restauration. I’m aware that Gausdal is having one in August and was told that other areas are doing that too. Does anyone know where I can get information on all the locations having celebrations?
Thanks! Wanda

Thanks! I’ve seen that site, but it doesn’t list individual celebrations. Gausdal is having a big celebration in August. I may have to look at individual locations and see if they are planning something. Thanks, again!
