"The Viking Sword That Wasn't": In-Person Badger Talk in Cottage Grove, WI

This is a free, in-person event hosted on May 1, 2024 at 7:00 PM as a part of the monthly Cottage Grove Lions Club meeting. No registration is necessary to attend.
In 1911, a sword was dug up in the prairie of Minnesota. Not long after, it was declared a Viking-Age sword. But in 2007, that all changed. This talk explores what happened and what it can tell us about Nordic-American life in the Upper Midwest.
