Elverhoj Museum of History & Art
1624 Elverhoy Way, (805) 686-1211. W-Sun 11-4; closed M-Tu. By donation.
Hand constructed by a local artist in the 1950s to resemble a brick farmhouse in Denmark, this converted residence is now a community museum devoted to Danish culture and the Danish-American experience. The Elverhoj Museum of History & Art covers the history of Solvang, the colorful heritage of Denmark, and Danish arts. In addition to answering questions and providing personal tours, docents sometimes demonstrate lacework. The museum is freshly painted and its beautiful pale pine floors are newly refinished, making this the perfect time for a visit.

This looks like a great place to learn the history of Denmark. I love museums and this looks like a good one. A friend was just telling me that I should visit Denmark. After reading your post, I have to say that I agree :-)
