Holtan Tweeten Journeys Stories

One of the highlights of the Holtan Tweeten Reunion in July of 2026 was the series of four Journeys presentations that sketched the journeys of Hans and Margit Holtan all the way from Upper Telemark through the voyage, the short years with brother Even in Minnesota, the Mt. Valley Iowa years and then their final move and their years on the frontier in North Dakota. In the following pages, we will share those narratives along with many of the photos from the slide show that coordinated with the narration. You can choose any of the four narratives, which are each split into two smaller web sections.
