Icelandic National League of North America
The purpose of the annual Icelandic National League of North America (INLNA) Convention is to allow for the gathering of like-minded individuals of Icelandic descent or those interested in Iceland. It is both a cultural event and an opportunity to entertain and educate attendees in subjects relevant to our shared Icelandic heritage. You can register for the convention here.
Donate
Did you know that the museum houses and cares for over 3,000 artifacts, photographs, paintings, books and periodicals that have been donated by individuals and families over the past 43 years? With these donations comes a public trust that these items representing the culture and history of the area will be preserved and cared for according to internationally accepted museum standards.
Your memories and the stories that were told to you are just as important. Without the museum, who will tell these stories? With your help, we can do so much more. Together we can continue to build and maintain these bridges to the past.
Each year we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses to meet our mission and provide services in our community.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Volunteer
The museum could not run without it’s volunteers. If you have time or expertise that you are willing to share we would love to talk with you.
