About Slooper Society of America

We are the descendents of the first Norwegians who sailed from Norway to the United States in 1825. These early pioneers came to America on a 54-foot sloop in search of opportunity and freedom. They have since been known as “Sloopers”, of which we are proud to be part.

The Slooper Society is dedicated to continue the pioneering spirit of the first “Slooper” Norwegians in promoting education in the history of Norwegian-Americans and keeping the Norwegian-American first-pioneer legacy alive for generations to come.
