Notes
"On US-83 south of town, Minot’s newest attraction, Scandinavian Heritage Park at 1020 S. Broadway (daily 9 am–5 pm; free; 701/852-9161) is set in a pleasant, tree-shaded city park, and includes all sorts of things tracing—guess what?—Minot’s Scandinavian heritage: a 230-year-old house from Sigdal, Norway; a Danish windmill; a statue and eternal flame honoring famous Scandinavian skiers like Casper Oimoen and Sondre Norheim; and a statue of that famous Viking wanderer, Leif Ericsson. Towering over the whole ensemble are a huge, wooden replica of Oslo, Norway’s medieval Gol Stave Church, and a giant red Dala horse, symbolizing Minot’s Swedish heritage."
