The Folk School (1917) |
Early
settlers of the colony founded a residential school in the Danish tradition of folk High
Schools and fostered the concept of "learning for living," by which individuals
sought to become enlightened and thoughtful citizens. The Folk School Building
stands as a testament to these values, and continues to serve as a place for fellowship
and life-long learning. Each charming dormitory style room is unique in plan and
decoration. A large kitchen and dining area provide a perfect setting for group
meals and activities. A lecture hall and several classrooms allow ample space for
programming.
