Show Memorial to Norsemen. Xearly five centuries before Columbus Colum-bus sailed to- America, according to , some historians, a party of Norsemen landed on the northeastern coast of the continent, and a few years later established a colony. As a memorial to these early explorers a rough stone tower has been erected at Auburndale, Jlass., a town that is believed to occupy oc-cupy the same site as the legendary settlement. Investigation has failed to reveal any traces of building ruins In the vicinity, but has resulted in the finding of several old stone walks, which are thought to have been constructed con-structed by the inhabitants of the ancient an-cient village. j. |
