Kensington Runestone

The Kensington Runestone is a slab of greywacke covered in runes on its face and side which, if it is genuine, would suggest that Scandinavian explorers reached the middle of North America in the 14th century. It was found in 1898 in the largely rural township of Solem, Douglas County, Minnesota, and named after the nearest settlement, Kensington. Runologists and linguists consider the runestone to be a hoax.The runestone has been analysed and dismissed repeatedly without local effect.The community of Kensington is solidly behind the runestone, which has
transcended its original cultural purposes and has "taken on a life of
its own".
