Danevang Lessons In Cooperative Danish American Life

The 100 residents of 28 square miles rely on joint ventures including cotton gins blacksmithing a welding shop a telephone exchange and a fire insurance company all owned by farmers. Once two grocery stores a filling station and a small post office remained. now the village centers on shared enterprise and community life anchored by Ansgar Evangelical Lutheran Church.
