Travel back in time 1,000 years to the first European settlement in the New World located at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site operated by Parks Canada.
Here, you will visit the park's interpretative center and see firsthand how this site was discovered. View 3-D displays depicting how the Vikings lived. Travel through the site and see the small smithy, where nails and rivets were made from bog ore. A large sod hut will show you how these tough people lived, ate and rested when not at sea.
Next, you will visit Norstead, a real Viking port of trade located about a mile from L'Anse aux Meadows. Your guide will take you to the Chieftain's Hall as you journey through this rough-and-ready site in the footsteps of fierce Viking warriors of the past.
