Fika at Fogelbo

Fika (fee-kuh) is the Swedish tradition of taking time out of your day to enjoy a cup of coffee and a snack. This is more than just a cup of joe though; Fika is an important cultural experience that includes food and socializing. Join us for a Fika at Fogelbo! You’ll see the inside of the historic cabin, meet new friends, and enjoy delicious Nordia treats.

Please note that while you will be able to enjoy the wonders of Fogelbo this is not a formal tour. This is a collaboration between our Fogelbo Heritage Committee and our Nordic Cuisine Committee. You’ll be able to enjoy the fusion of these two committees.

Nestled in the mature trees along Oleson Road is an unassuming place called Fogelbo.

In Swedish, Fogelbo means “bird nest” and is derived from the Fogelquist family name, which means “bird on a branch.”

This historic home and two acres were deeded to Nordic Northwest in 2014 by Sir Ross Fogelquist. The home houses one of the largest private collections of Nordic antiques and folk arts in the United States. Ross Fogelquist has been a passionate collector all of his adult life. He is a member of the Order of the Polar Star and was knighted by the King of Sweden. Thousands of people have been hosted and charmed by this unique and fascinating estate through the last sixty-four years.
