I remember when the Hjemkomst Viking ship was being built. It was all happening right there in my back yard, and yet, I've never been to see it. Crazy, huh? But this is summer I finally do it.

The Hjemkomst is a full scale Viking burial ship modeled after one that was unearthed in Norway in 1880. Built by Robert Asp, this replica sailed from Duluth to Norway in 1882. You can see the ship and learn more about it at the Hjemkomst Center in Moorhead.
