... the presentation was outstanding!

"They covered the entire story!

"I knew the class would enjoy this visit, but it was even better than any had anticipated.
... all truly enjoyed the visit and seeing this amazing piece of history.

"Our questions were answered with patience and an incredible depth of knowledge." said Rosalie Dixler, Coordinator of the "Around The Neighborhood" class from the Lifelong Learning Institute at National-Louis University after taking her class on a group tour of the 1893 Viking ship.
