Tours to Telemark

Our members' interest in visiting their ancestors' homeland and visiting the communities and farms from which they came has given rise to a commitment by Telelaget to sponsor tours to Telemark every 4-5 years.  Previous tours sponsored by Telelaget took place in 1937, 1972, 1992, and 1997.Find links to the 2002, 2007,2012, and 2016 tours below. Unlike more generic itineraries that focus on tourist destinations, Telelag combines those must-see landmarks with an opportunity to visit the places and, when possible, meet descendants, of member participants' Norwegian immigrant ancestors.  Members in the US work closely with our Norwegian counterparts to create a unique and meaningful experience.  Make plans now to join us in 2020!
