Heg Farm
| Heg Farm. The home was built by the Hegs after their immigration from Lier, Norway in 1840 and before the Civil War. The barn was built by Even H. Heg in 1843. The Reverend Claus L. Clausen, a Norwegian Lutheran minister, held several weddings and confirmations in the barn. At various times it was also used as a temporary shelter for many other emigrants from Norway, as a school, and as a temporary living quarters. The north half, made with hewed oak timbers, was built first. Later additions enlarged the barn. |
