The Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center represents how much we as a community of Fargo/Moorhead residents value our heritage, our blood. The extrodinary work of the Hjemkomst and the replica of the Hopperstand stave church from Vik, Norway are clear evidence. The danger is that we become so concerned about this blood that connects us to our history our heritage, we forget about that life sustaining fluid that connects us all. 83% of our blood is water.
