THE SPIRIT OF SOLVANG
From Danish Roots to California Colony

A dynamic new exhibition in the Museum Gallery celebrates Solvang’s early settlers who achieved the American Dream while honoring their Danish heritage and, in so doing, created the town we know today. Meticulously restored black and white images from the museum collection tell the story of Solvang from its founding to its transformation into a tourist destination.”
