1) At Hjemkomst Center we've learned that Moorhead residents and Norwegian have a lot in common, since Norway, Scotland, etc, have colonized this area. They have similar cultures, history, appearance, etc.
2) Robert Asp, that had origins from Norwegians vikings, built an viking ship; his dream was to build the ship and sail it to Norway.
3) The ship wasn't professional, but he received some help and also the ship underwent some modifications so it could get better (stability, resistance, etc).
4) When Asp was doing his ship, the government of Minnesota didn't ask him to pay some taxes, so this would help him.
5) After all of this, the Hjemkomst Center was created to keep Minnesota memories alive. He had a hard work building the ship and this must not be forgotten. Also, this was not only an local event. When the viking ship was built, history and culture could cross the ocean with the sailors.
