Stockholm, Wisconsin
You'll still find plenty of Petersons, Andersons and Ericksons in this Swedish-founded town (they originally made their living by fishing and harvesting ice on Lake Pepin). But modern Stockholm (population: 92) got its start in the 1970s, when artists began discovering the beauty along Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River.

Explore art galleries and shops, sample Scandinavian foods, and stay for one of the festivals that combine old-world heritage with new creative expression.
