After the last visit, Hilma Swedahl remained in Sweden, while her husband returned to the United States. During the 1930s, she founded the Alaska i Strömstad, a park and rock garden located on Norra Långöns naturreservat, an island and nature reserve located in an archipelago northwest of Stromstad. Largely built of stone, this tourist village was inspired by her experience while living in the state of Alaska. Hilma Swedahl died in 1965 and was buried in the churchyard at Skee church (Skee kyrka) in Strömstad. On her grave stone is carved her saying: "Don´t worry!". (en)
