The Viking Historical Society runs the Viking and District Museum at the end of Main Street, housed in the town’s former hospital building. The society exists to preserve historical artifacts, and the grounds include several historic buildings moved on site and restored, among them a country church, a general store and post office, a one-room school, and a farm house, along with farm equipment and implements under a display shelter. Viewing is free and donations are accepted, and the museum keeps daily hours from May through September.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the museum, so volunteers and visitors can get online while touring the site or working at the front desk. The Historical Society is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Viking, alongside the Legion, the Ag Society, United Church, the Golf Course, and the Senior Citizens Club, all using the same network name and password.

Free Wi-Fi also means out-of-town visitors researching their own family history can stay connected while they browse.
