Scandinavian Heritage Park
Over my weekend stay near Minot, I hunted down a few geocaches in the area. One of them was at the Scandinavian Heritage Park, on Broadway. Being half Norwegian, I especially enjoyed this park. I wanted to share a few snapshots from the park:
A giant Dala Horse, located in the park.
This is a statue of Hans Christian Andersen, the author of "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Mermaid." He's a native son of Denmark, earning him his place in this park.
A replica of the Gol Stave church, which was originally constructed in the 1200s in Norway. The impressive carvings and construction are enough to make me want to visit Norway and learn more about my heritage.
