Viking Hall

Viking Hall is the location of many of our cultural events and gatherings. Directions to our facility can be found here. The Persson Scandinavian Library is located inside the hall. Materials may be checked out by members of the Scandinavian Cultural Center or Valhalla.

"Viking" is a word describing the ancestors of the Scandinavians. The Viking ship and helmet are symbols of their bold past. With their well-designed long-boats, the Vikings explored the world of Europe, including Russia, Ireland, France, and England. They settled in Iceland and Greenland, and explored the eastern shores of North America.
