Old Swedes Gift Shop, located in Hendrickson House Museum, is bursting with Swedish Jul! Kirsten, the Swedish doll from the beautiful American Girl Collection, shares the shelves with her new little sisters and new little wooden dolls. There are cards and gift tags, tree ornaments of pewter, straw and wood, linens, magnets, cookie cutters and Lingonberries from Sweden. Hometime Collectibles and Cat's Meow images of Old Swedes, charming Swedish mobiles by Anna, PER AND THE DALA HORSE and of course, our videos, THE STORY OF OLD SWEDES CHURCH and THE LAUNCHING OF THE KALMAR NYCKEL, are just a few of the Swedish items in the shop.
