In 1957, an amazing discovery was made - it was a Viking Penny dating back to 11th Century Norway. The find itself was rare, but not unheard of. The thing that made it so remarkable? It was found on the Eastern shore of Maine in the United States. Is this evidence that the Vikings beat Christopher Columbus to America by 400 years? In this episode, we discuss Norse exploration, L'Anse aux Meadows, Leif Erikkson, The Goddard Site and the Maine Viking Penny. Then we play the quiz game with award-winning Speaker and Author, Marissa F. Cohen!
