Town of Viking The Town of Viking is located Southeast of Vegreville. Head east on Highway 16 and then south on Highway 36 and you will come across the charming town of Viking, Alberta. Viking museum is one of the best in the area. It is a 1921 hospital which has been completely redone so that every room is a different time period. Another historical
element of the Viking area is the Ribstones. They are native carvings in stone from more than 1,000 years ago. If you would like more of a recreational element, Viking has that too! A nine-hole golf course with grass green can be used for your liking, or you can use the facilities that Viking has for baseball and soccer.
