Lindsborg, Kansas “Little Sweden”

Posted byChristi IfferganPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , , , ,

Lindsborg is a small town an hour north of Wichita on Interstate 35. It was one of the places I had been looking forward to seeing and it did not disappoint. Scandinavian heritage is represented from the food to the architecture and attractions.

Valkommen till Lindsborg!

The Herd of Wild Dala Horses

What exactly is a dala horse?

It is a popular Swedish handicraft and souvenir. The name comes from its home province, Dalarna, in Central Sweden. Most popular are the red-orange horses. More of the history of the Dala Horse can be found here.

These are pictures of the dalas I found around town. They are varied and the artwork on each horse was unique.

The Herd of Wild Dala Horses are large cast fiberglass horses decorated by local Lindsborg artists. They are found throughout the town.

Public Art

Art is scattered all over Lindsborg. There are contemporary outdoor sculptures, paintings, wind vanes, iron works and tile installments about town.

The town is so charming.

I had a recommendation from a local to eat lunch at Öl Stuga. He was carrying his takeout & I took his advice.

I had the Brent Nelson, named after a local. It is Polish sausage, hot pepper cheese, smoky sharp cheese, grilled onions & BBQ sauce on a submarine bun. The chips & pickle were perfect with the sandwich.

If you are visiting Kansas, be sure to save a day to spend in Lindsborg!

Hi! I am Christi, a full-time RV traveller since August 2021. I have always loved to travel, but COVID-19 put a stop to that. I was fast approaching 50, my condo was being placed up for sale and I was ready for a major change. Originally from a tiny town in rural Southwest Virginia, I am the mother to one son and a rescue Shih Tzu, Cappy. For the last 20 years, I worked in public library systems around the Charlotte & Myrtle Beach areas. I met some amazing people and made great friends along the way. Follow along on my adventures as I travel the US. I hope that our paths will cross one day!
