While archaeologists still debate whether this site is a Viking settlement or an early First Nation settlement, the re-imagined restoration is a great visit. Enthusiastic guides and re-enactors portray a sophisticated settlement with a blacksmith, a weaver, a miller, and some agricultural tools. The main grass-topped encampment is primitive, but livable. It was a difficult life, scraping by in the new world, and if this were a Viking settlement, it survived a short time. Well worth a visit. It might be a struggle for those with impaired mobility; it is a lot of walking, and there are steps. The path is mostly boardwalk however, and wheelchairs are possible.

The restored Viking village at L’Anse aux Meadows was quite interesting and informative. It is definitely an item for your bucket list. The climate is not very hospitable so dress accordingly.
5. Leif Ericson Monument

His statue stands looking heroically out to sea perhaps homeward. Its neighborhood does not seem to be aware of his presence. We visited on a rainy day which heightened the bleakness of the area. It is a humble place which makes it hard to believe that this is one of only three such statues.
