THE SITE OF VALHALLA Susquehannock State Forest One mile west from the Ole Bull State Forest Monu- ment (page 56) is the Site of Valhalla, one of Ole Bull's projected towns. The name Valhalla is an im- posing one, being that of the abode of the gods in >sorwegian mythology. All that now remains of the Valhalla settlement is a stone house that was erected for Ole Bull's private physician, Dr. Karl Joerg. Some of the original wood-work of Ole Bull's castle is a part of this substantial stone house. The Site of Valhalla is located 20 miles southeast of Coudersport in Potter county. It may be reached over the Jersey Shore- Coudersport Pike, turning west at Oleona.
