A
Viking, Carved from a tree trunk at Vasa Park, larger than
life, stands guard in front of "Viking Hall" and
watches over the grounds.
Visitors
shop for bargains from the many vendors of Scandinavian articles
and clothing at the festival.
A
"Viking Encampment" provides a glimpse of life as it
was a millennia ago, and an opportunity for visitors to
experience "Living History".
The
Replica Viking Ship Norseman is a frequent visitor to our park.
Quite seaworthy, and internationally well known, She has taken
part in Scandinavian Historical Activities all over the world.
From
a later period of history, The Swedish Colonial Society makes an
appearance. Settlers of the New Sweden Colony in the Delaware Valley,
These Finns and Swedes contributed much to the newly settled
areas of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. There
is always time to stop for refreshments, a quick snack or an authentic
Scandinavian Creation.
Kaldolmar,
Lapskaus, Frikadeller, ... or Hamburgers and Hotdogs for the
less adventurous. (they don't know what they're missing!)
And
when the kids need to let off some steam, there is also the
Richard Pierson Memorial Playground - Never Closed.
