Welcome to the Swiss Center of North America!
Come inside the Swiss Center and explore the stories of the Swiss in the United States and Canada. Our collection holds intricate costumes, cheerful folk art, wood carvings, religious icons, and more. What did Swiss immigrants choose to bring with them, and why? Visit us today, and discover your past!
December 6, 2008 we celebrated the grand opening of the Swiss Center of North America with supporters from around the continent.
In the past 15 years, we have amassed more than 10,000 Swiss-American artifacts, books, and documents.
We are open to the public, and share our stories of the Swiss in North America with ambassadors, politicians, celebrities, and members of the public.
We're committed to connecting and communicating with Swiss organizations like the Swiss Benevolent Society of Chicago.
We love sharing the fascinating traditions of Switzerland, and how they've been translated into North American events. Every winter we chase away the cold with the Appenzeller Silvesterchlauen.
Make a difference in preserving Swiss culture and heritage in North America! Make a financial donation, or gift your Swiss family photographs, letters, clothing, club records, or other culturally significant treasures.
