 <p>People have been immigrating to America for centuries. With each new wa
 ve\, different cultures and ideas have shaped the country into what it is 
 today. From 1850 to 1930\, 1.3 million Swedes left their homes for America
 . During this time\, many settled in Chicago\, bringing with them their Sw
 edish culture and traditions. In Chicago\, Swedes created a new home for t
 hemselves in Andersonville. Although many Swedish businesses have closed\,
  the Swedish American Museum (which is celebrating its 50th anniversary th
 is year!) continues to uphold and honor Swedish history\, heritage\, and c
 ulture in Andersonville.</p>\n<p>In this virtual presentation\, Swedish Am
 erican Museum Curator Sarah Hawkinson will dive into the various factors t
 hat prompted rising Swedish immigration in the mid-to-late 19th century\, 
 the immigration journey itself\, and how Chicago has been shaped in many w
 ays by Swedish immigrants to the Midwest.</p>\n<p>Photography Policy: By a
