“On the knoll above Atterdag College the wind sings through the town’s ancient aeolian harp,” Manning wrote in the Saturday Evening Post article.
While the College buildings are long since gone, making way for Atterdag Village, the harp underwent a meticulous restoration in 2016 and its song can be still heard in the breeze.
Today, the city’s Danish heritage remains inextricably woven into the texture of its everyday life. Clearly, tourism has been affected by the COVID-19 stay-at-home order making it a quieter winter than usual. But the heart of the town remains strong as we look forward to welcoming visitors back.
Stay safe and listen for a song on the wind.
