The Nordic Heritage Museum is an internationally-recognized museum dedicated to the heritage of Seattle's Nordic immigrants, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish Americans. It was founded in 1980 and can be found in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. The museum has plenty of artifacts and genealogy-focused literature for one to trace back their Scandinavian ancestry. The Nordic Heritage Museum is located on 68th Street between 30th and 32nd Avenues NW. The museum is accessible by Metro bus for those not arriving by car. The Ballard neighborhood is also home to a couple of Nordic shops and bakeries for those who care to continue their cultural tour.
