Wooded bluffs tower above the mighty Mississippi River to the east;
to the west, patches of virgin prairie and a buffalo herd are remnants
of the sea of grass that once covered the plains. Stone etchings and a
pipestone quarry are part of the rich heritage of the American Indians
who first explored this territory. The productive farms of the area trace
their roots to humble sod homes and small fields carved out of the prairie.
Dozens of historic sites and museums relay the stories of determined pioneers
from Germany, Scandinavia and central Europe. The towns they founded are
now noted for their historic architecture, antique shops, inns, and ethnic
festivals. In the countryside there are bike trails, canoe rivers, and
fishing lakes and streams. This land of quiet charm attracts travelers
for peaceful getaways
