He traveled extensively in Europe and upon his return to Norway became popular as a teacher and author In 1876, Kristofer Janson"s three-act drama, Amerikanske fantasier, was issued in Chicago by Skandinaven, which hailed its publication as a red-letter day for Norwegians in America.

Janson subsequently relocated his family to the United States. His home soon became a cultural center.
