Rhode Island’s Mysterious Viking Tower
One unique tourist site in Rhode Island is the Mysterious Viking Tower. It has an air of mystery because no one truly knows who constructed it or how it came to be in its current location. It’s an unexpected structure that stands out against the background of Newport. But if you were expecting an exciting build – up to a grand revelation, you’d be very disappointed. Since its origins are unknown, there’s really nothing captivating about it.
In principle, if it could be definitively established that Vikings built this tower, it would be fascinating from a historical perspective, as it would rank among the oldest buildings in the entire nation. However, it could also have been hastily erected by a wealthy eccentric, which makes it a rather lackluster attraction with no real redeeming qualities.
