They have developed a nice little museum were once there was only the mounds when Dad first served in Norway that give visitors a taste of viking life in that period.  This museum is a smaller scale version of the large one we visited on Lofoten but very nice and we had a personal tour since there were only about 3 families there at the time. A Magnificent loud thunderstorm rolled through as we were touring the grounds bu...
