Dahl Historic Dinners at Tangen

Our Tangen Home represents the dwelling of the Norwegian family that owns the Implement Dealer in the 1876 town of Walnut Hill. A dinner here will give you a glimpse into the life of a middle-class family of the time, as well as a delicious home-cooked meal. You’ll eat in the elegant Victorian-style dining room, then move to the parlor to play period games.

Meals are served family-style, so everyone at the table eats from the same menu. Main course depends on date.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
