ArtPlace announces Lanesboro as

one of America’s Top Twelve ArtPlaces!

Lanesboro is one of 12 vibrant communities in America identified as being exceptionally successful in combining the arts, artists, and venues for creativity and expression with independent businesses, restaurants, and a walkable lifestyle.

Please be advised that US Hwy 16 is currently under construction. The road will remain open and down to one lane with pilot car for most of the project--proceed as planned and expect only minor delays. If coming from the north on 52, you may wish to bypass Preston and take Cty 8 east in Fountain. 

Come and relax in a quiet place with no stoplights or franchises. Lanesboro is the premier Arts and Culture Destination of the Midwest nestled in the Bluffs of the Root River Valley. Experience the spectacular paved Root River State Bike Trail,  winding 60 miles through Bluff Country. Excellent for biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, it runs along towering limestone bluffs, dense hardwood forests and peaceful small towns. 

We invite you to let go and unwind, treat yourself and someone special to one of Lanesboro’s Romance and Relaxation Packages. Romantic getaways in Lanesboro allow couples to plan a vacation based around adventure, culture or simply some down time and pampering.

Lanesboro is one of America’s Prettiest Towns by Yahoo! Travel/Forbes Traveler for scenic beauty and small town charm. Minnesota Monthly noted Lanesboro as one of 10 Small Town Weekend Trips in Hidden Minnesota! 

It is easy to see why people return time and again to renew themselves in Lanesboro’s riches.  Come, create your own memories!
