This is Big Ole. He is 28 feet tall and overlooks the north end of Broadway across from the Runestone Museum. Here are we two hams getting our photo taken with Ole.
Linda and her grandson Dakota with Big Ole. There is a huge prominences of Scandinavian influence in the area and throughout the rest of Minnesota and Wisconsin too.
A hand-crafted viking ship which was donated to the museum.
These are hand-made dolls made by the Dakota and Ojibwa cultures.
More of the hand-made dolls.
The last of the dolls. Each one represented a person (man, mother, etc.)
This exhibit was about canoes and how they were crafted.
This is a recreation of a native American campsite. It also includes some wildlife.
This dress is laced with small bells along the brown lines that you see. It is quite beautiful and must weigh quite a bit.
I tried to capture this room with a panoramic shot. There are many items from early Alexandria including telephones, stoves, furniture, etc.
Here is a collection of old pianos (one from the mid 1770s) and another from early 1900.
