Oseberg Ship to be subject of Sons of Norway meeting

FOSSTON, MN—If you’re interested in Viking history–not the pro football team—you’ll want to attend the Sons of Norway Granlund Lodge’s meeting in Fosston on Thursday.  Lodge President Wes Roland tells R & J Radio News there will be a presentation on the Oseberg Ship.

According to Wikipedia, the Oseberg Ship dates back to the 800s and was discovered around 1904 in a burial mound that held the remains of two women, as well as Viking textiles and other  

artifacts.

Astri Bryde will be the featured speaker about the Oseberg Ship.  There will be a pie and ice cream social following the presentation.  The presentation and Sons of Norway Granlund Lodge meeting will be held Thursday, August 11 at 6:30 at the Embassy Center in Fosston.
