History tells us it was 1841 when the first Swedish settlement in Wisconsin was established in the area of Chenequa, Wisconsin.
Who were the settlers? Why did they choose Wisconsin and why the Pine Lake/Chenequa area? What was their life in the new country like?
What happened to the settlement? Did they stay?
Join us as SAHSWI member John Elliott takes us back in history to the Early Swedish Settlement at Pine Lake/Chenequa, Wisconsin.
