Take Route 436 to the end past the entrance to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you get to the end of 436, turn right to see the town. Turn left and drive out a small point. You’ll enjoy some beautiful views of both the town and the surrounding islands; Warrens Island, Little Sacred Island, Great Sacred Island.
n 1960, everything changed for this little community changed when George Decker, led Norwegian, Helge Ingstad to a group of mounds near the village. The area of grass mounds was excavated between 1961 and 1968 by Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad. They determined that the site was a Norse Viking Settlement dating to 1000 AD. It remains as the only proven Viking settlement in North America.
