Lindsborg

Lindsborg came into existence in 1869 when a party of Swedish settlers headed by Pastor Olof Olsson arrived here. Referred to as Little Sweden, Lindsborg is known for its unique Swedish heritage. The Old Town area is replete with souvenir shops, traditional cafes, leafy avenues, and cobbled streets, all of which evoke memories of the days of yore. Svensk Hyllningsfest is held once in two years, every October in odd-numbered years to commemorate the town's Swedish roots. A standard souvenir everyone picks from here is the Dala Horse, a wooden toy that originated from the Dalarna Province in Sweden.
