The Ludwig & Christina Welk Home, also known as the Lawrence Welk Birthplace, is a historic farm house in Strasburg, North Dakota, built in 1893. This homestead, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, is where Lawrence Welk, the renowned American musician and television impresario, was born in 1903.
Managed by local volunteers, including Lawrence Welk's niece Edna Schwab, the Ludwig & Christina Welk Home has been restored to preserve the legacy of the Welk family. Despite his success, Lawrence Welk specified that none of his funds should be used for the restoration of his birthplace, showcasing his humble roots and commitment to preserving history.
