Alumni & Friends Virtual Book Club

Over three sessions in May, you can join fellow alumni and friends to discuss “Heritage of Darkness” by Kathleen Ernst. Set in the Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum right here in Decorah, “Heritage of Darkness” promises to be a fun read and even more entertaining discussion.
