I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and like my own ancestors who were of Norwegian decent, there are a lot of other families who's grand parents or great grand parents had emigrate to our country eons ago. With my Dad's grand parents, it was 1873. One of our universities here in Sioux Falls is Augustana, and on the grounds of this campus is sort of an outdoor museum, with one of these stave churches that has been rebuilt or preserved.

Really nice series of a very unique church

Very nice photos. Where was the church in Norway? We were on a cruise in Norway last July and it is such a beautiful country.
