Dive into the history of Swedish immigration to Chicago with a guided tour of the Swedish American Museum's permanent exhibit, “The Dream of America.”

Uncover the stories of real immigrants like Karl Karlsson, who left Sweden with his family in 1893, or Elin and Birgitta Hedman, who made the journey in 1924. Learn about what awaited the millions who came to America via Ellis Island and what life was like in Swedish neighborhoods such as Andersonville in Chicago then and now.

The tour is free with admissions, and members are free. Reservations are recommended and can be made via email to museum@samac.org.
