Just
west of Mount Horeb is Little Norway, also known as "The Valley of
the Elves." This area was settled by Norwegians in 1856. A
costumed guide leads visitors on a tour of the authentically furnished log
buildings and "Stavekirke", a wooden church built in Trondheim,
Norway, for the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The church features
carved dragon heads at the roof peaks to chase away evil spirits.
There's also a gift shop with Norwegian rosemaled items. |
