2 By-Laws of Gammelgården An American-Swedish Heritage Museum Owned by Elim Evangelical Lutheran Church Scandia, Minnesota PREAMBLE Because understanding of and appreciation for our history is important for every generation and all people, and because Scandia plays an important, and even unique, role in the history of Swedish immigrants to Minnesota, being the place of settlement of the first three immigrants to arrive from Sweden (in 1850), and Because there are available in this area important original buildings from early immigrant days, notably the original church (built in 1856) and the first parsonage (built in 1868) and a related farmstead, and Because these must be restored and preserved now to prevent deterioration and permanent loss, and Because a group of people, in Scandia and elsewhere, have become concerned about such restoration and preservation, The Swedish Heritage Museum of Scandia has come into being. It is the focus of a concern which goes beyond the immediate community, or those now living in it. Therefore it is a trust to be assumed on behalf of others now living and on behalf of generations to come. PURPOSE It shall be the purpose of Gammelgården The Swedish Heritage Museum: 1. To preserve, as nearly as possible in their original form, the original church and the first parsonage and its related homestead, erected by the first Swedish immigrants to Minnesota, who settled in or near the present Scandia. 2. To gather, preserve, and exhibit artifacts related to the early Swedish immigrants, especially those related to this locality and to other rural settlements. 3. To promote the Museum s historical resources for use by touring groups, educational field trips, and other visitors by conducting special events related to Swedish-American cultural activities. 4. To stimulate interest in immigrant history and appreciation of the contribution of Swedish immigrants to the state and nation. 5.
