| Name: | Valhalla Haus |
| Category: | Entertainment |
| Status: | Member |
| Description: | The name Valhalla Haus was created out of love for history and of ancient times, specifically the Viking Age. The concept of a re-enactment as a "Living History" event is to portray the lifestyle in medieval times of the Viking Age where ship building, archery, handicrafts, music, storytelling, farming and fighting were as common place as the computer age is today. The Viking re-enactment movement is an international cultural phenomenon, which features a great number of participants united by a mutual interest in history and fellowship. Not all of the old world ways have been lost to modern times. Today we see a resurgence of Medieval and Renaissance related Faires. This is where people go not only to see the spectacular costumes and spend the day losing themselves as a part of a bygone era, but more and more interest appears to be in the genuine research and development in all aspects of the historical record. Come join us to create our own Valhalla Haus for we are a community of people building a village that will build the dreams of all. |

| Description: | Join this group if you are interested in Viking Age reenactment. No, you don't have to be a 'viking'. Many persons who were not actually Scandinavian were 'vikings'. If you find our culture, heritage, and background interesting, feel free to join. No conversation is censored or controlled, I think everyone should be free in speech. |
