STRASBURG, NORTH DAKOTA LAWRENCE WELK Lawrence Welk (1903 - 1992) The historic Ludwig Welk Homestead brings the past alive. As you step back in time at the Welk Site in Strasburg, North Dakota, you will be welcomed by the beautiful countryside and clean air. You are in store for a wunnerful, wunnerful time. In 1989 Pioneer Heritage, Inc. (a non-profit organization) was formed. The Welk Home was placed on the National Register as a Centennial project and restoration began in 1990. The six acre site was leased from the Schwab family for 99 years. The site is typical of the early German-Russian settler’s farms. In May 1991 the Welk site was opened to the public. Many of the original furnishings have been placed in the sod house along with other antiques from the 1920s. Out buildings that have been restored are the summer kitchen, carriage house, blacksmith shop, barn and privy. These are very much like they were when the renowned band leader Lawrence Welk was born and grew up on this farm. Restoration of the Welk Homestead has been entirely paid for by private donations. No federal funds have been received.

Visit the German Corner Home Page Privacy Statement German Corner Website German-American Mall ... Next Page WELK, Lawrence. Born to Germans from Russia immigrants, in a sod farmhouse near Strasburg in south-central North Dakota, Lawrence Welk was always drawn to music. In his autobiography Wunnerful, Wunnerful he wrote, "my earliest clear memory is crawling toward my father who was holding his accordion. I can still recall the wonder and delight I felt when he let me press my fingers on the keys and squeeze out a few wavering notes." By the time he turned 17, Lawrence knew he could never be a farmer and that he really wanted to make music his life's work. In exchange for a $400 accordion, to be purchased by his dad, he agreed to stay on the farm and work for four more years. On his 21st birthday, March 11, 1924, he left home to pursue his dream. He had little money and couldn't speak English, but what he did have was his accordion, his talent, and an overwhelming desire to succeed. His legendary life's work had just begun. After delighting television viewers and concert-goers for four generations, the legendary Lawrence Welk Show is live again on stage in Branson, Missouri. Featuring some of the best-loved singers, dancers and musicians from the Lawrence Welk television show, as well as a sampling of new talent, it's a heart-warming reunion of the Welk Musical Family that you know and love.

Welk Legacy THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW U.S. Musical Show One of television's most enduring musical series, The Lawrence Welk Show , was first seen on network TV as a summer replacement program in 1955. Although the critics were not impressed, Mr. Welk's show went on to last an astonishing 27 years. His format was simple: easy-listening music, what he referred to as "champagne music," and a "family" of wholesome musicians, singers, and dancers. The show ran on ABC for the first 16 years and was known in the early years as The Dodge Dancing Party. ABC canceled the show in 1971, not because of lack of popularity, but because it was "too old" to please advertisers. ABC's cancellation did little to stop Welk, who lined up more than 200 independent stations for a successful syndicated network of his own. Part of Welk's success can be attributed to his relationship with viewers. He meticulously compiled a "fever chart" which tallied pro and con comments received from viewers' letters. Performers with favorable comments became more visible on the show. In this way, the viewer also played an important role in his "family" of regulars. There were many show favorites throughout the years including the Lennon Sisters, who were brought to his attention by his son Lawrence Jr. who was dating Dianne Lennon in 1955. Other favorites included the Champagne Ladies (Alice Lon and Norma Zimmer); accordionist Myron Floren, who was also the assistant conductor; singer-pianist Larry Hooper; singers Joe Feeney and Guy Hovis; violinist Aladdin; dancers Bobby Burgess and Barbara Boylan; and Welk's daughter-in-law, Tanya Falan Welk.
