The members have spoken
and we have heard! Each
year during our August annual
meeting membership drive,
members have asked for a
newsletter to keep abreast of
what is happening within the
New Sweden Historical Society
and surrounding community.
NORTHERN LIGHTS was
conceived and born from this
request. We gratefully accept
articles and photos at the
