Come to Emma's Christmas Saturday and Sunday!The shelves are filled with sweets like Krumkake, Rosettes, fudge, spritz cookies, and so much more made by the Grantsburg Area Historical Society elves! Kris is cooking up her fabulous Swedish meatball soup and there's free cider, too. Emma's House will be open for visitors to check out all the festive vintage and Scandinavian decorations but due to the colder temps the baked treats, cider, and soup will all be for sale at the museum. Hope to see you there!
