To enjoy, preserve, and promote our Norwegian heritage …

Our Chapter now has about 50 members, many who live outside Bosque County. Quite a few members grew up in the area and have fond memories of celebrating special holidays with their parents and grandparents. We are lucky in Bosque County to participate in many feasts (such as Lutefisk!) and other celebrations.

If you are interested in becoming a member of this organization, it is not required that you be of Norwegian descent, only that you will enjoy, preserve, and promote our Norwegian heritage. Become a member today! Print the Membership Form, and mail it in with your annual dues.  Thanks!

Historic Rock Houses of Bosque County

On Sunday, January 14, 2024, at the Bosque County Museum in Clifton, Texas, Garrett Nagorzanski, a senior architecture student at the University of Notre Dame (and great-great-grandson of Ovee Colwick), discussed his research conducted in Norway last year. Garrett, and his fellow architectural classmate, Luke Fortener, discussed and demonstrated their findings on historical rock houses in Bosque County, including history and reconstruction.

An excellent article describing the event may be found here, courtesy of the Chisholm Country Magazine.
