History Pub at Old St. Francis School

Nordic ski enthusiasts have celebrated The Great Nordeen ski race since 2002. But who is Nordeen and what does he have to do with Nordic skiing in Bend? A lot, it turns out. Local historian Tor Hanson takes you on a trek from northern Sweden to Bend in search of Emil Nordeen.

Join us for beer and history, sponsored by the Des Chutes Historical Museum, the Oregon Encyclopedia, and McMenamins, in which you’ll hear lively local and regional history while you enjoy a frosty pint or two of handcrafted ale.
