Having the house as a focal point helps us
to bring other parts of the Ager story to the community. We want
to "reconstruct' Ager, not just as an important Norwegian-American,
but as a writer of excellent fiction, as the editor of an influential
newspaper for forty years, as a civic leader, and as a popular
speaker through the world. We want to draw out all of the "contexts"
for Waldemar Ager's remarkable presence in the first four decades
of the twentieth century.
--Timothy
Hirsch, founder,
Waldemar Ager association
