National Sauna Week is February 19th thru the 25th. Many Finnish immigrants settled in the Lake Superior region and brought the sauna tradition from their homeland. In preparation for Sauna Week, Folk Migrations host Wink Timber takes an extended look at the history, culture, and music of the Finnish sauna in America, including interviews done in several saunas.
