Norskedalen Nature and Heritage Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the Coulee Region's natural environment and cultural heritage. It is near Coon Valley, in La Crosse, and Vernon Counties, Wisconsin, United States. HistoryThe center began in 1977 as an outdoor laboratory and arboretum when Alf and Carroll Gundersen donated {{convert|112|acre|km2}} to the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse Foundation. Since then, Norskedalen has grown to include over {{convert|440|acre|km2}}, with {{convert|9|mi|km}} of trails, restored pioneer log buildings from Norwegian immigrants of the late 1800s, and museums with exhibits featuring the natural and cultural heritages of the area. SiteNorskedalen includes two sites. The main site is three miles (5 km) north of Coon Valley, Wisconsin and open year-round. With {{convert|398|acre|km2}} within Poplar Coulee of the Town of Washington in La Crosse County, it contains the Bekkum Homestead, a re-creation of a typical pioneer farm at the turn of the century; the Thrune Visitor center with displays of pioneer and Norwegian immigrant artifacts; the Helga Gundersen Arboretum; and the Paulsen Rental Cabin. The Helga Gundersen Arboretum is home to a bronze sculpture, Zerogee II, by sculptor Paul Granlund. The buildings of the Bekkum Homestead are furnished with artifacts of that time period and open for guided tours from May through October.[1][2] The other site , Norskedalen Heritage Site, was formerly the Skumsrud Heritage Farm. It is {{convert|1/2|mi|km|sing=on}} west of Coon Valley, Wisconsin. A seasonal open-air museum that contains more than 11 historical buildings, it includes the 1853 Skumsrud Cabin, (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), and the Erickson School, the first schoolhouse of the area. Each building illustrates a slightly different construction style.[3] References1. ^Gundersen Arboretum (Norskedalen Nature & Heritage Center) 2. ^Bekkum Homestead (Norskedalen Nature & Heritage Center) 3. ^Skumsrud Heritage Farm (Norskedalen Nature & Heritage Center) {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080503020443/http://www.norskedalen.org/index.asp?CompID=56&btnSubmit=ByFileCategoryID&cboFileCategoryID=47&cboFileSubCategoryID=47&cboFileCategoryIDMain=7 |date=2008-05-03 }} Other sources
