The Welk Family represents the immigrant farm family story of melding into American society on the Dakota prairies. Lawrence Welk left the farm with his accordion at age 21 to begin his musical career. They raised eight children at the homestead, including Lawrence, who lived at the farm from 1904 until 1924.
