Swedish American Immigrant Memorial, Munterville, Iowa, USA. From the plaque in front: During the mid 19th century many Swedish immigrants began arriving in the new frontier lands of Iowa. Confronted by many obstacles and hardships in their homeland they made the difficult journey to begin a new life in America. Many were from rural areas and this brought them to the open prairies of the midwest where they found a climate, soil and rolling hills similar to their fatherland...This monument depicting a Swedish American immigrant family honors those pioneers for the sacrifices they made and recognizes their values of hard work, determination, family, and faith provided a solid foundation for enriching the lives of all succeeding generations.
