Elk Horn

Among Iowa's small towns, Elk Horn stands out for its enduring Danish-American heritage. Set amid the rolling agricultural country of western Iowa, it is a community shaped by descendants of Danish immigrants who settled this part of the state. Its defining landmark is the Danish Windmill, an 1848 mill built in Nørre Snede, Denmark, then dismantled and reassembled in Elk Horn in 1976. The Museum of Danish America preserves stories, art and material culture connected with Danish life in the United States, while the annual Tivoli Fest brings Danish food, music and traditions into town.
