Decorah Bank & Trust Co. has agreed to sponsor "Free Thursdays" at Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum in 2010. Admission to the museum will be free every Thursday during 2010, thanks to the bank. The museum will also stay open until 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays. Once a month Vesterheim will also be offering a special event in connection with "Free Thursdays."
"We are so excited to continue Free Thursdays, with museum hours extended into the evening," said Steve Johnson, Vesterheim Executive Director. "We are very grateful to Decorah Bank & Trust for helping us give everyone the opportunity to visit the museum and see what's here," he added.
"We are fortunate to have Vesterheim in our community and realize the economic impact it provides. Free Admission Thursdays encourages everyone to discover or rediscover this local jewel and tell their family and friends to come to Decorah and experience this national treasure", commented Joe Grimstad, Executive Vice President of Decorah Bank & Trust Co.
