Living History

Living history is the end result of diligent research. 

Members of Vikings North America strive to constantly update their personal understanding of the various cultures of Northern Europe between 750-1100 CE.  But it doesn’t stop there; we also use our knowledge to teach other people and test our own hypothesis.

It’s more than dressing like people from a thousand years ago. Recreating objects in the same manner as originals; cooking foods that would be common then, if strange now; standing in a shield wall with a thousand warriors; or being part of a ship’s crew. These all help to capture the essence of life so long ago.
