The Kvamme Local History Collection at the Stoughton Public Library was established in 1984 by Lois Kvamme as a memorial to her husband, Torstein O. Kvamme, a former principal, band and history teacher at the local high school. Through gifts and donations, the collection has grown over the years. The digital collection includes Stoughton city directories and telephone directories as well as volumes of newspaper clippings on topics of local interest including World War II, Syttende Mai, the Martin Luther Children’s Home, and the Stoughton Ski Jump.
