The Dalahäst (Dala Horse) was placed on the grounds of the Scandinavian Heritage Park in 2000. Believed to be the largest in North America, standing nearly 30ft tall, which would be around 20+ hands tall in traditional measuring standards!! Now, after 26 years of faithful service, weathering the diverse ND elements, the time has arrived for us to retire the original build and secure a new replacement! The Dalahäst (Dala Horse) is a replica of the iconic small horses skillfully carved from wood in the province of Dalarna, Sweden for their children to play with during the long winter days.

We sincerely thank you for your kind consideration to honor your loved one on behalf of the Scandinavian Heritage Park.
