Leif Erickson Day - Surprisingly, the best place in America to celebrate Leif Erickson Day is Boston, Massachusetts. The man who developed Rumford’s Baking Powder, Eben Horsfeld, was convinced that Lief Ericson had landed in Cambridge and surrounding areas before Christopher Columbus, so he commissioned statues to commemorate Lief’s arrival. One statue is marked with the phrase:
Leif / The Discoverer / Son of Erik / Who sailed from Iceland / And landed on this continent / A.D. 1000.
