North Dakota is a welcoming and inviting state and is a perfect getaway for the next family vacation. If you aren’t ready to head out camping and would still like to explore an urban center, one of the best places you can go is Fargo. It offers a lot more than just its namesake movie. When you are coming to the city for the first time, you might be surprised at just how much there is to see and do. For example, the Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center has quite a few great interactive exhibits that are based, for the most part, on the culture of the Vikings. You can see the Hopperstad Stav Church Replica, which is a stunning replica of how a church in the later Viking Age of Scandinavia. Also at the museum is a replica of an actual Viking ship. This ship was even sailed all the way to Norway! You can get up close to the boat and see how the crew lived aboard the ship. This is a can’t miss Center for anyone who is interested in the culture of the Vikings. Don’t stop there, however. Check out the Red River Valley Exhibit as well. Fargo has tons to offer its visitors.
