THE PLAIN VIEW FARM MUSICAL DRAMA

Grandsons and Fellow Cousins Russ Del Von Schaefer and Paul Rangen in glory

Plain View Heritage Farm is a genuine farmstead on the once buffalo-rich Prairie of South Dakota, located a few miles from Bryant, South Dakota, only a few miles from DeSmet, SD, the scene of "Little House on the Prairie" authored by Laura Ingalls. Here a homestead was carved out of the virgin sod and built by Papa Alfred and Mama (Bergit) Stadem in 1919 (Alfred himself was born in a pioneer sod house in the area and his younger brother Sever also was born there), and his bride came from Norway on the Norwegian American Line ship, Hellig Olaf, in her teens, orphaned with her brother Andrew and sister Katrine and so poor they all had to flee as part of the Second Wave of Scandinavian Emigration to America or starve).

The Stadem family soon became a large one of seven girls and two boys.

Reared during the First World War, then through the Twenties and the Depression, this family knew hardship and the test of faith in God, but not only survived but triumphed, thanks to that strong pioneering faith.

This play depicting a pioneer family's fun, dreams, joy amidst material sparsity and hardship, and the catastrophic loss and tragedy that redeemed a man's wayward heart has yet to be set to a musical score by the Stadem descendants of the family. Copies can be obtained by downloading. Plain View Farm is a funny, sentimental, sometimes deeply spiritual, and altogether most refreshing. You don't have to be a religious person to really enjoy "Plain View Farm" for its high cultural value and intrinsic interest as a piece of authentic Americana and rollicking Norwegian-American farm life. The songs and lyrics will be set to music, but the lyrics are available along with the play.

This duck-like Extraterrestrial Species invades and colonizes Scandinavia, adopting the Scandinavian customs and even the phlegmatic temperament of the former inhabitants. What happened to the original residents? They are taken off planet to another planet by the name of "Skandihoovia," which is cold, icy, mountainous, and abounds in fish, so they are perfectly happy there and acclimate quickly. As for Earth, the ET's do very well in their new homes. Tour five Alien-Occupied Scandinavian Countries(yes, Five, with the Sixth being Honorary, Normandy in France), Starting with Sweden. Don't laugh, you may grow tolove these charming lefse-and-lutefisk addicted aliens!


STEREOSCOPIC TOUR OF OLD NORWAY

Now how about a really old-fashioned tour of Norway (with a bit of Finland thrown in)? You can tour old Norway in the 19th century by way of stereoscopic pictures and see it the way a generation that is now gone once viewed the marvels and wonders of nature and far-away places new or dear to their hearts. If you have the stereoscope viewer, all the better! But if not, (and a museum is not handy to lend you one!) just look at these wonderful, museum-piece pictures!
