On the Road Again

The Bishop Hill Heritage Acting Troupe is on the move again!  Those 1850 Swedish Colonists, after being on the ocean in a tall ship, then Erie Canal Boats, are now walking from Chicago to their new home in Communal Bishop Hill, Illinois. 

Many experiences take place along the way with these Swedes.  They haven’t mastered the English language, so who knows what they’ll say! What will their jobs be in the newly-settled village? Will cholera find their trail? Has Brita weakened and fallen for Sven’s romantic ways? Will Anna, at last, find that sought-after husband?

Find out on May 28 at 2 pm when these lively Swedish maids land on our shores!
