Viking Historical Museum

Converted from the town's first hospital (1922) the museum is the repository of Viking's history. Documenting the town's first Scandinavian settlers and following Viking from its agricultural origins, through the birth of the oil and gas industry, to the multi-faceted community it has become, the museum will give the visitor a true sense of the spirit of Viking.

At the museum site, many additional historic buildings have been brought together and made to look as they did in the old days. The museum has a wealth of clothing and uniforms as well as household, professional, farming and sports equipment, including all sorts of tractors and other farming implements housed in a long shelter that stretches behind a lawn at the back, across the full length of the sizable main building. It even possesses copies of the local paper's report of the first time oil was struck in the area in 1947.

Viking Historical Museum is open Fri - Tues 10:00am - 5:00pm.
