Den 6 mars 1857 solgte de Viken på auksjon og dro til USA. Brødrene til Nils, Lars og Hans hadde emigrert allerede i 1846 og 1851. De hadde slått seg ned i La Crosse i Wisconsin, så det var dit Nils og Marit la vegen. Etter en sjøreise med seilskip, som tok flere uker, slo de seg ned i Manitowoc, WI.

Marilyn Holien Ettesvold skriver: "Much of the good land in eastern Wisconsin had already been taken up, so Nils and Marit moved west to Bostwick Valley near LaCrosse in 1861 and joined the Lutheran Church there. There son, Knut was confirmed there in 1865, and shortly thereafter they, too, left for Goodhue County. They settled on a homestead near Marit (his step daughter) and Torger (Eltun) in Warsaw Township, a stone's throw from the farms of Haagen an d Ole Holien. Nils died in 1867 and was probably buried on the farm, as no church records exist concerning his death or burial. Although Vang Lutheran Church was built in 1862, the ministers were often gone on long missionary journeys and many vital statistic s were not recorded.
