Lierbyen was the birthplace of Hans Christian Heg, who emigrated in 1840 with his parents to Muskego, Wisconsin. Heg served as a colonel and brigade commander in the Union Army in the American Civil War. Heg organized the 15th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment at Madison, Wisconsin. More popularly known as the Scandinavian Regiment, the majority of its members were immigrants from Norway, or other Scandinavian countries. His statue by Paul Fjelde was raised in Madison, Wisconsin, with a cast erected in his home village.
