Nýr Heida (New Hedeby) is an organization which focuses on Viking Age Living History. While our group is based in the state of Missouri (we have members in Rolla, Knox City and St Louis) we also have a few members as far away as Nebraska. We are an official group of The Vikings-NA.  VNA is affiliated the The Vikings. The Vikings was founded in 1971 and is the oldest and largest Viking Age re-enactment society in the UK, and probably the world.

We are dedicated to presenting Viking Age history as accurately as possible. In our efforts to do so we are actively involved in either research, living history, experimental archeology, rebated steel combat or a combination of any of the above.

Members try to capture the lifestyle and culture of the time and area - from warfare to housekeeping, from trade to raiding, using authentic methods and techniques wherever possible. Our skills and crafts include sewing, cooking, tablet weaving, embroidery, leatherwork, woodworking, blacksmithing, casting, armouring, chain mail, as well as the fighting displays of our warriors.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in come and join us! If your interested in learning more about Nýr Heida drop us an email here.
