"The Norwegian Immigrant: Part of Milwaukee’s Melting Pot"

Almost everyone knows about the story of the early Norwegian settlement of Norwegians in Muskego in 1839. But do you know about the part Norwegians played in the settlement of early Milwaukee?
Erica Dial, a former executive director of the Stoughton Chamber of Commerce and a born Wisconsinite, now living in Washington state will tell about their settlement in the Milwaukee. In addition, that she will recount the story of Anton Olson, an immigrant from Telemark and her great-great uncle, who in 1875 saved sailors from a wreck off the Port of Milwaukee.
