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.

Hirsch, founder,
Waldemar Ager association
