For all of its beauty, Minnesota sure has a lot of attractions that are a little on the funky side. But that’s what makes our state so unique. So, instead of raising an eyebrow at these unusual sites, we want to embrace them for the fun flavor they bring to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. No place embodies that uniqueness as much as the Hairy Mosquito Trading Company in Milaca. This quirky roadside stop has plenty to gawk at. If you keep your eyes peeled, you’ll even find something to take home.
Hairy Mosquito Trading Company is a great stop for those who are just a bit unconventional. The store is located right off the road at 21287 Highway 169 in Milaca.
Beyond, a large store full of treasures awaits those who are curious enough to enter. The trading company is known for showcasing talented people who make hand-crafted items.
Of course, if you're not into crafting your own treasures, the Hairy Mosquito team can do it for you. There are many reclaimed wood furniture pieces for sale.
Others are outside. No matter where they're held, you can be sure that you'll find local talent no matter what. Pick up handmade jewelry, tooled leather, and many other one-of-a-kind goods.
