The
Museum Center is located at 5211 North Clark in Andersonville, a traditionally
Swedish area of Chicago's north side. The entire community welcomes
Swedish Americans and celebrates all of the Swedish holidays. Merchants
and residents turn out for the very traditional Midsummer, Lucia and
Christmas celebrations. But, tourists visit the area continually to
sample Swedish food, buy gifts, and visit the Museum Center.
