The years are approaching to 2006, the 100th Anniversary of Dagmar and Volmer. For more details go to www.dagmarcentennial.com. If you would like to help plan or if you have any ideas on fund raising and events for the 100th B-Day of Dagmar and Volmer. Also the Danish Immigrant Museum in Elk Horn, Iowa is look for history of Danish immigrants on the northern plains. If you have any pictures and or stories contact Violet Sorensen at 406-483-5211 and she will get them to the museum. You can either gift it to museum or loan it. Violet also said that if copies can be made she would send them instead. This information will also help in the 100 birthday celebration since it will be based around the first homesteaders.

Dagmar has a short main street, but is long on people whose lives it has touched. It has been said that a small town or community never lets you go. Someone always keeps track. You always belong. Dagmar baseball goes back to the early 1930s, when Dagmar had some good 4-H teams. The first diamond inn Dagmar was in the same area as it is now, but was facing southwest with much buck brush in the outfield. It was built in the early 40s. In 1981, the area celebrated the 75th year of both Dagmar and Volmer. The first seven settlers moved into the area that became Dagmar in 1906, and the Danes have always enjoyed such celebrations. The 2-day event was held in Dagmar on July 25th & 26th |
