Lindstrom, MN USA is know as America's Little Sweden. Tingsryd, Sweden is Lindstrom's sister city. Daniel Lindström left Sweden in 1853 in search of a nice piece of land to settle in America. The town of Lindström was incorporated in 1894, 41 years later. Many other Swedish emigrants traveled with Daniel Lindström, including Erik Norelius, whose personal journals in part formed the basis of Vilhelm Moberg’s novels of the Swedish emigration to the United States, The Emigrants. These statues are of Karl Oskar and Kristina Nilsson from Moberg's novels The Emigrants. Karl is looking ahead to the new land as Kristina takes one last look back to her home country.
