L’Anse aux Meadows

L'Anse aux Meadows was made into a National Historical Park in 1968 and a World Heritage Site in 1978. This house was built at L'Anse aux Meadows in the style of old Viking houses. The walls are made from peat. L'Anse aux Meadows is the only place in North America where we know that Vikings built houses. In 1960, two archaeologists from Norway found the remains of houses in L'Anse aux Meadows. They found that Vikings had come to L'Anse aux Meadows around the year 1000 AD. The houses they built were probably a lot like this one.
