Tour of the Swedish American Museum and Genealogy Research Center in the Andersonville neighborhood. We will meet at 11 am.

The tour will last about 1 1/2 hours, and the center is open until 4:00 pm for personal research after the tour.
There will be no charge to our membership attending but a charge for non-members (adult $4.00/seniors 65 and up $3.00) must be paid at the door.
