Additional Information:
Join Sons of Norway- Mandt Lodge for “An Evening about the Hjemkomst Vikingship”
on Wednesday, August 14, 7:00 PM,
at Sons of Norway- 317 South Page Street, Stoughton.

Recovering from a fall in 1971, Moorhead Minnesota Junior High School guidance counselor Robert Asp read a book on the Vikings.
This sparked the thought that he should build and sail his own Viking ship. After eleven years of planning, building, and training, the ship named Hjemkomst sailed from Duluth, Minnesota, to Oslo, Norway. Tom Asp, son of Robert Asp, will present on the planning, building of the ship, learning how to sail, crew selection, and the Atlantic crossing.

Refreshments will be served!
Everyone is welcome and no reservations are needed!
