The Swedish Historical Society of Rockford, established in 1938, is dedicated to preserving and celebrating Swedish-American history and Nordic culture in Rockford, IL. Through the operation of the Erlander Home Museum and Nordic Cultural Center, the society offers museum displays, educational programs, and conservation of artifacts to connect generations locally and globally.
The Erlander Home Museum, a 152-year-old historic landmark, serves as the heart and soul of the Swedish Historical Society. With a goal of raising $40,000, the society is currently running a campaign to address basement condensation issues and preserve the foundation of the Erlander Home. Visitors can explore Rockford's Swedish culture and heritage by booking a tour with knowledgeable docents at the museum.
