- Description
- Papers of the Norwegian Immigration Sesquicentennial which was celebrated in Norway and in the United States in 1975, one hundred and fifty years after the landing of "Restaurationen" in New York with the first shipload of Norwegian immigrants, the "Sloopers." In the United States five regional commissions had been organized with headquarters in New York. The others were Chicago, Ottawa, Illinois, Minneapolis and Seattle. To facilitate planning between these groups there was a National Coordinating Committee, which also worked with the committees in Norway. Celebrations in the United States included a great variety of church, cultural, educational, entertainment and sports events, all of which were given extensive newspaper coverage. The climax of the festivities came with the visits to each of the regional centers by King Olav V of Norway, 2-29 October 1975.
