VIKING TRAIN TOUR ROUTE
The Viking Train takes guests on a four stop tour of Washington Island. Each stop along the route allows visitors the opportunity to get off the tram and experience each destination in person. The following four locations are featured on this guided tour.
STAVKIRKE
Town Line Road, Washington Island
The Stavekirke is a place for spiritual meditation and worship. It was dedicated as a Christian house of worship in August 1995. The Stavekirke is patterned from an ancient style of church construction found in Norway during the medieval times. This building is both a replica and tribute to Washington Island's large Scandinavian heritage.
