Norumberga Tower, Weston, Massachusetts, USA: A Glimpse into New England's Norse Past Step back in time with this photograph of Norumberga Tower, located in the picturesque town of Weston, Massachusetts, USA. Dating back to circa 1905, this stone tower stands as a testament to the intriguing history and rich heritage of the region. Built in 1889, Norumberga Tower was erected to mark the supposed location of Fort Norumberga, a legendary Norse fort and city believed to have existed in the late 10th or early 11th century. The Norse explorers, led by Leif Eriksson, are said to have established this settlement, making it the first European settlement in what is now the United States, predating the more famous arrival of Christopher Columbus by over 500 years. The tower, a popular tourist attraction, is a significant historical landmark in the town of Weston and the state of Massachusetts. Its imposing presence, with its intricate stonework and majestic height, transports visitors back to a time when the New World was still a mystery to the Old. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The lush greenery surrounding the tower, the clear blue sky, and the serene atmosphere all contribute to the enchanting allure of Norumberga Tower and the captivating history it represents.
