Olav and Martha in Wisconsin

May 6, 1939

The Associated Press reports today that "thousands of persons lined La Crosse streets" as the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Norway arrived in the Wisconsin town. They arrived by train from Chicago, and spent two hours in LaCrosse before traveling on to Decorah, Iowa, where they were welcomed by Governor George A. Wilson. The royal couple are the guests of honor tonight at a dinner at the home of Norwegian vice consul Dr. Trond Sabo.
