NORSTEAD, Viking Village and Port of Trade

Norstead is also located in L'Anse aux Meadows near the UNESCO site. It is a replication of a Viking Village and Port of Trade. Norstead Village is a not for profit organization that was created in 2000 to mark the 1000th anniversary of Leif Erikson's journey from Greenland across the North Atlantic. Norstead extends this story by presenting the typical life in a
more permanent settlement.
The interpreters are quite colourful and love to entertain their visitors.

The Snorre, which is on display at the site, is a 50 foot copy of a Viking cargo ship found in a bog outside Roskilde Denmark. This ship was built in Maine, USA, then transported to Greenland and was sailed to L'Anse aux Meadows in 2000.
