Our Story

Restauration is an icon of Norwegian emigration history from Norway to the USA, and is considered the beginning of organized emigration where nearly 1/3 of Norway’s population chose to leave their homeland.

The Restauration Venneforening preserves the Restauration to convey the emigration history from Norway to the USA and coastal cultural history to current and future generations.
