The Viking Age Club began in 1985, when Dennis Rusinko and Gary Anderson decided a group was needed that would portray the Vikings authentically. No horns on helmets, no bear-skins (or not many), and where demonstration of Viking crafts and skills would be as important (or more important) than weapons and fighting.
Since that time, the Viking Age Club has been giving lectures and demonstrations at schools, festivals, and celebrations throughout the United States, Canada and Norway.
The Viking Age Club & Society is a sought-after resource for schools and communities across America.
We are a club dedicated to educating the public about life in the Viking age by demonstrating Viking crafts and Live-steel Combat.
