Homecoming: A Viking Ship, A Father's Dream, and a Community's Journey

Join us for an inspiring presentation that shares the remarkable true story of a father’s dream to build a Viking ship and sail it to Norway.

Robert Asp, a Minnesota junior high school guidance counselor, dreamed of building and sailing a Viking ship to honor his Norwegian heritage. His ultimate goal was to sail the vessel all the way to Norway. When illness prevented him from completing his vision, his children—and the entire town—joined together to fulfill his dream. Together they carried out the voyage on the Viking ship named 𝙃𝙟𝙚𝙢𝙠𝙤𝙢𝙨𝙩 (Homecoming) in his memory. Tom Asp, Robert’s son, will share this touching and inspiring story of perseverance, family, and community spirit—a powerful reminder of how dreams can live on through the love and dedication of others.

This program is in partnership with the Friends of the Viking Ship and the Geneva Public Library District.
