Vesterheim Heritage Park

Vesterheim Heritage Park is a curated experience linking visitors to the journey immigrants endured to establish a foothold in America. The landscape architect transformed a mown landscape with a disparate collection of historic settlement structures into a sustainable landscape that creates a stronger context in which museum staff can tell the immigration story to the public. Heritage Park provides improved access to the entire collection and more strongly links the structures to the site and the unique landscape of the Driftless region. The landscape architect led the project team through design, documentation, grant and fundraising support, interpretive development, and construction administration.
