Tips from locals
This is a really cool must see built by a local here from Moorhead Midwest Viking Festival June 26-27 HJEMKOMST CENTER 202 1st Ave N Moorhead, MN 56560
Interesting exhibits including the Robert Asp sailing ship and a Scandinavian Stave church.
You can pay to go inside and see the Viking ship that sailed from Lake Superior to Norway or you can walk/bike around the park that surrounds the museum and Stave Church. It's by the river and is a beautiful spot to spend a fine afternoon.
This museum houses a replica Viking ship that was built by Robert Asp, an area resident that wanted to recreate the trip the Vikings made from Scandinavia to North America. The ship was built in a potato warehouse and brought east to sail the Atlantic. It made the trip and you can learn how it was built and how it made the long journey from a warehouse in Hawley, MN to Scandinavia.
