Studio Tupla Exhibit at Dassel History Center

Carol's Finnish ancestry and Craig's recollections of his formative years in Dassel intersect at the Dassel History Center as their furniture and textiles come together under one roof in celebration of the local area's Finnish heritage. This event is one of many across the state that are connected to a much larger annual celebration of Finland, Finnish America and Finnish culture sponsored by FinnFest USA, a nationally based organization. The exhibit will be open through Labor Day.

The Venue

The Dassel Area Historical Society, with its outstanding leadership and community involvement, carries out its vision to "Preserve the Past, Enrich the Present and Secure the Future" in the former Universal Laboratories, Ergot-Yeast building where they have carved out a very special place in this restored structure. All you science nerds out there will be impressed by the Ergot Museum. The Dassel Area Historical Society has put together an excellent permanent exhibit covering the history of ergot entitled "Ergot: from Blight to Blessing." Some of you may be asking, "Ergot... what?" Well, come on over and check it out. It's definitely worth a road trip!

Come celebrate craft!
