Minnesota Essentials

Minnesota's landscape ranges from the 53-foot Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis to the rugged North Shore, where Split Rock Lighthouse and Gooseberry Falls overlook Lake Superior. Historical sites include the Grand Portage National Monument, a former fur-trading hub, and Pipestone National Monument, where Indigenous people have quarried sacred red pipestone for centuries. Cultural icons include the 55-foot Jolly Green Giant statue in Blue Earth and the 5-8 Club, one of the originators of the cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy burger.
