Set sail for Geneva to view famed Viking Ship

Submitted by Friends of the Viking Ship

The Viking Ship, from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, is housed at Good Templar Park in Geneva. On Saturday, May 19, the public will have an opportunity to view the Viking Ship at the park, 528 East Side Drive, Geneva.

Friends of the Viking Ship will host a “Viking Visitor’s Day” from 1 to 4 p.m., describing the ship’s amazing voyage from Bergen, Norway, to the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition and its subsequent adventures. Visitors will see the stabilization work that has been done and walk up the ramp to view the inside of the ship.

The cost is $5, $3 for ages 13 to 19 and $1 for children ages 5 to12. They also will be accepting donations to benefit the urgent rivet repair program. See this endangered artifact and help the Friends on their way to saving the Viking ship.
