Twenty years ago, I visited the historic but cutesy town of Sigtuna (half an hour north of Stockholm) and wrote it off as a tourist trap. I just revisited with my Stockholm friend and guide, Håkan Frändén, and reassessed the place. Sigtuna is great. I’d recommend it…and it comes with some sassy rune stones. Check this one out.

Alexandria,Minnesota has a Runestone Museum- controversial story of a farmer finding a Vikings era runestone, with an ancient language carved into it telling of their journey along lakes and rivers into central Minnesota, under an uprooted tree. Scholars have studied it and came up with differing ideas of the age of it.
