Swedish Culture & Heritage
Our organization is inclusive and its members come from a variety of backgrounds-some were born and raised in Sweden, some have Swedish heritage, and some have no direct connection to Sweden besides an appreciation of the culture.

Traditional Swedish Recipes
Over the years New Sweden has collected recipes of traditional Swedish small dishes called “smörgåsbord” representing the strong domestic eating tradition.
