You are standing on part of what was the original plot for the town of Lindstrom. In 1854, Daniel Lindstrom, a Swedish immigrant, purchased 130.4 acres of surrounding land at $1.25 an acre. The statues are of Karl Oskar and his wife Kristina. Karl is looking ahead to his future in America and Kristina is looking back, longing for her homeland of Sweden. The original statues are in Karlshamm, Sweden. Karl and Kristina are fictional characters in a series of books written by Vilhelm Moberg. In 1948, Moberg stayed in the area and did research for the books which were loosely based on the large Swedish immigration to the area in the 1800s as a result of the land being open to immigrants by the 1837 Indian Treaty. The statues represent all the Swedes who settled in this area as represented by the Moberg books, based on many immigrant stories. When we moved here,in 1968, Swedish was till heard spoken at the PO and the cafes, and it was taught in the schools into the late 1980's. Permission given by THE COUNTY PRESS.
