Joseph Matthews speaks about Governor Printz Park. In a 1938 essay, Dr. Amandus Johnson described his hope to see Pennsylvania’s Printz Park “as a kind of Skansen” with a “Swedish farm from the 1600’s” made up of log buildings serving different purposes. The New Sweden Company (NSC) of New Jersey hired Swedish architectural preservationist, Gunnar Zetterquist, to build just such a farmstead in 1988. This talk provides an account of this ambitious project and its relocation to Governor Printz Park, connecting it to early-20th century Swedish open-air museums such as those envisioned by Artur Hazelius and Georg Karlin.
This presentation is part of the 2020 New Sweden History Conference.
