Join us at the Cambridge Public Library as Arn Kind teaches us all about The Viking Age with a multi-media interactive presentation! During the Viking Age, people lived in terror of the sounds which signaled the sudden and brutal raids of the Norsemen. Any who resisted were slaughtered as these raiders looted monasteries, villages, and cities for valuables. Then disappeared in their swift longships before any army could arrive to stop them. This is the enduring image of the Vikings, but there is so much more to their story.

Join Historical Experiences on a trip to THE VIKING AGE, a mysterious age of Runes, Raids, and Sagas. - You'll discover that these Scandinavians were excellent traders, craftsmen, ship-builders, inventors, and navigators. - You'll learn how Viking raids disrupted the power structure of medieval kingdoms, which ultimately resulted in the formation of the European nations that exist today. - The popular myths and fallacies surrounding Viking culture will also be dispelled. Pre-registration is required for this event, as space is limited. Please make sure to register each person in your group individually.
