Swedish immigration program was a hit!

50 guests listened to an excellent presentation about Swedish immigration, given by Dr. Anne-Charlotte Harvey.  There was even audience participation, when the crowd sang some of the old immigrant songs, including Bishop Hill’s Ox Boy Song.  Photographs of this April 21 program in the Dairy Building can be seen in the photo gallery or by clicking on the following link: http://bishophillheritage.org/swedish-immigration-program-by-dr-anne-charlotte-harvey-4-21-15/ .  Photographs were taken by BHHA Board member Lou Lourdeau.  This program was sponsored by the BHHA and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
