The National Trust for Historic
Preservation recently chose Red Wing, Minnesota as one of the 2008 Dozen
Distinctive Destinations. Less an hour southeast of St. Paul, Red Wing has a
population of 16,000 people. The city, which is nestled in the Mississippi
River Valley, is full of small-town charm and it's an excellent place to invest
in Minnesota-made art and products. The stunning landscape also makes Red Wing
a great location for year-round outdoor recreation from skiing and bird watching
to sailing and rock climbing.
