Vikings on Lake Ontario: Truth or Legend

In 1960, the remains of a Norse settlement were found in Canada.  This revolutionary discovery changed what we knew about European exploration of America:  Vikings had settled here in the year 1000 CE.  But did Viking explorers stay in Newfoundland, or did they travel farther south—perhaps all the way to Lake Ontario?  Library Director Joe O’Toole will discuss this possibility by presenting a history of Viking culture and the Norse “discovery” of the “New World.”
