In 1996, Brampton Lutheran Church was dismantled and moved from Brampton Township, Sargent County, North Dakota.

Asbjørn Odd Ystebø was a teacher at Danielsen Videregående Skole, an independent Christian high school in Bergen, Norway who had an important role in the exchange agreement between his high school and Hillcrest Lutheran Academy in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. During a visit in the United States in 1992-93, Ystebø got the idea of establishing a Norwegian American center in his home village of Sletta. Rural townships in Minnesota and North Dakota had in many cases experienced dramatic population decreases. As a result, there were historic building available for relocation. Asbjørn Odd Ystebø would later receive the St. Olav's Medal based upon his engagement in Norwegian and American relations.
