Step into the mystical world of Asgard and immerse yourself in the legends of the Aesir gods. Explore the grand halls of Valhalla, where heroic battles and feasts unfold. At Asgard Alaska, we invite you to join us on a journey to create a place where we can discover and celebrate the history of Vikings and other ancient civilizations. Here, creativity and history collide as artisans, re-enactors, and visitors bring to life the traditions and ways of the past. Become part of a community that values education, diversity, and inclusiveness as we work together to create a unique historical attraction in the stunning Alaskan wilderness. Join us and experience the magic for yourself!
Where we are now: the museum is not open yet. We are raising a Land Fund to buy the site, which is the first phase of our Roadmap. Meanwhile, you can find your Viking name, explore the myths, and follow the build with us.
New Here? Find Your Viking Name
Many visitors meet us first through our free Viking name generator. It builds a name the way the Norse did, from a real Old Norse first name plus a parent’s name, or a nickname. If you want to know where those names came from, read How Did Vikings Get Their Names?
What Is Asgard Alaska Building?
Embark on a thrilling journey with us into the world of the Vikings! Join in as we make new friends and strive to create a living historical attraction that will educate, entertain, and inspire Alaskans for years to come. In fact, your support is crucial to making this vision a reality.
Our plan is to build an open-air Viking museum and historical campground. For example, you can picture a reconstructed Viking settlement, a great longhouse for special events, and tent sites and Viking turf houses for overnight guests. Still, every saga has a first chapter, and ours is finding the land. The Roadmap lays out the four phases, from a Land Fund to a working museum and campground.
Take a moment to delve into our vision for the future by visiting the Our Mission page. Then you can meet our founders on About Us. So get ready to become a part of the saga!
