Runestone Museum

The Runestone Museum features dozens of exhibits which highlights Norse history, the Native Americans, Minnesota wildlife, early pioneers and the world-famous Kensington Rune Stone! Enter Fort Alexandria and visit several authentic log buildings, an 1880 country school house, and view a forty-foot Viking ship called the Snorri. Gift shop and museum open year around.

Their Children’s Discovery Room is an area that promotes education through active play.  Kids can play games, play dress-up, design a Viking Shield, learn the Rune alphabet, and imagine what it’s like to be a homesteader as they decide which goods to load in their wagon.
