Runestone Park - A Place to Discover
KENSINGTON, MN The Kensington Runestone - was it really left here by Vikings? Whether or not, it was really found here in rural Minnesota over a hundred years ago. Lakes Country Living travels to the actual site of discovery, today the largest and most scenic county park in Douglas County. Hear the story as told by Park Superintendent Al Lieffort. Then plan to come and visit this beautiful location on Minnesota's Glacial Ridge Scenic Byway. Whether to tour the original farmstead that stood here in 1898, or to enjoy a beautiful park with many distinct geological features... we think you'll be glad you did.
Vikings Visited America circa 9th Century ~ Heavener Runestone & Poteau Stone Translations
The translated messages of the Heavener Runestone and Poteau Stone, both found in the state of Oklahoma, reveal historical abbreviated references to Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great who eventually ruled Italy after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD. Theodoric became a legendary hero in the archives of Germanic literature. The Rök Runetone, carved in Sweden circa the 9th century, marks the earliest mention of Theodoric at a time when the Elder Futhark alphabet was transitioning into the Younger Futhark alphabet; runes from both alphabets appear on the stones. These apparent connections are convincing enough to believe the Vikings made it to America circa the 9th century. Symbolisms found on the Kensington and Narragansett Runestones link to the Heavener and Poteau runes.
Further explanations of the Elder Futhark runes profiled in this video are found on the Winds of Jupiter Tarot website where the Velkommen Rune Cards can be purchased Velkommen means “Welcome” in Norwegian.

Looking back at 19 years of progress in Alexandria, Minnesota
After almost two decades as Executive Director of the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, Coni McKay will be retiring this summer. We asked Coni -- and a few of the Chamber's Past Presidents -- to share some of the highlights of Alexandria's growth, and her years with the Chamber. Included are interviews with Jill Blayshack Strahan (Tastefully Simple), Larry Zilliox (Country Gardens), Julie Critz (Alexandria Public Schools), Shari Laven (Viking Savings Bank), Jeff Wild (Arrowwood), Todd Emmons (Innovative Companies), and Bruce McKirdy (Paradis Broadcasting). This video was first played at the Chamber's Annual Celebration on February 11, 2016.
Myths of the Rune Stone: Viking Martyrs and the Birthplace of America
David M. Krueger is a scholar and teacher with a PhD in religion from Temple University and a master’s degree from Princeton Theological Seminary.
What do our myths say about us? Why do we choose to believe stories that have been disproven? David M. Krueger takes an in-depth look at a legend that held tremendous power in one corner of Minnesota, helping to define both a community’s and a state’s identity for decades.
In 1898, a Swedish immigrant farmer claimed to have discovered a large rock with writing carved into its surface in a field near Kensington, Minnesota. The writing told a North American origin story, predating Christopher Columbus’s exploration, in which Viking missionaries reached what is now Minnesota in 1362 only to be massacred by Indians. The tale’s credibility was quickly challenged and ultimately undermined by experts, but the myth took hold.
Faith in the authenticity of the Kensington Rune Stone was a crucial part of the local Nordic identity. Accepted and proclaimed as truth, the story of the Rune Stone recast Native Americans as villains. The community used the account as the basis for civic celebrations for years, and advocates for the stone continue to promote its validity despite the overwhelming evidence that it was a hoax. Krueger puts this stubborn conviction in context and shows how confidence in the legitimacy of the stone has deep implications for a wide variety of Minnesotans who embraced it, including Scandinavian immigrants, Catholics, small-town boosters, and those who desired to commemorate the white settlers who died in the Dakota War of 1862.
Krueger demonstrates how the resilient belief in the Rune Stone is a form of civil religion, with aspects that defy logic but illustrate how communities characterize themselves. He reveals something unique about America’s preoccupation with divine right and its troubled way of coming to terms with the history of the continent’s first residents. By considering who is included, who is left out, and how heroes and villains are created in the stories we tell about the past, Myths of the Rune Stone offers an enlightening perspective on not just Minnesota but the United States as well.

This historic artifact has been long debated in Oklahoma. Is it real or is it a hoax? It's worth investigating and seeing in person. The park itself is beautiful as well as peaceful and it allows you to say what if!
