Above: The thirty-six participants on the
Trønderlag heritage tour paused long enough for a group photo at this
church which was built near the ruins of the Reins Monastery in Rissa.
From here they went on to the Rissa Bygdemuseum and the Museet Kystens Arv
(Coastal Heritage Museum) in Stadsbygd.
The heritage tour, sponsored by Trønderlag of America
visited many places in the Trøndelag region of Norway from September 8-20,
2005.
The tour
included visits
and sightseeing to Trondheim, Røros, Selbu, Soknedal, Stjørdal, Orkanger, Ørdal,
Rissa, Stikelstad, and other places
in Nord and Sør-Trøndelag.
In addition, all of the participants were able to
visit their ancestral
farms and meet with relatives. For many, it was a first-time meeting with
their Norwegian cousins. Four days were set aside
at the end of the group tour for participants to make those visits,
although some were able to take advantage of free time in Trondheim to get
an early start on visiting their relatives.
Our visit to Trondheim was ended with a wonderful
meal at "The Tavern" in Sverresbourg.
