Norseland, the Norse Recreation Society, is an organization devoted to researching, learning, and interpreting the history and lifestyle of the Icelandic Society (800 to 1100 AD).
The group gathers quarterly, closest to the equinoxes and solstices, in the tradition of the Icelandic Althyng. At each event we partake in traditional Norse activities and customs including armored combat, metal work, woodcraft, thrown "live" weapons, archery skills, gaming, singing, storytelling, and feasting, while dressed in time-appropriate clothing.
Most members are located in the Northeast United States where our events are held. We generally camp in Viking A-frame tents, or in inclement weather we hold our events in halls.
