PZ tells us that the people in Kensington have strong opinions about who discovered North America, and you can learn about them at the Kensington Runestone Museum.

But I can top that. I saw an authentic Viking ship replica in Duluth, MN. And if you're ever in Duluth - better remember this (whether you believe it or not is immaterial) - It was Leif Erikson, in 1000 AD, not Christopher Columbus.
