Most Minnesotans can think of at least one town they love passing through. Some of us even know places that we’d go out of our way to visit. Whether they have scenic beauty, amazing restaurants, or fun festivals, Minnesota towns offer something for everyone. But there’s place in particular that it’s safe to say is one of Minnesota’s most unique towns. Lindstrom – or Lindström – is anything but ordinary.

Located about 40 miles northeast of Minneapolis, Lindstrom is perfect for a day trip.

This town is actually known for its Swedish heritage. In fact, it calls itself America’s Little Sweden.
