Somewhere between the Minnesota River and a whole lot of charm, Henderson has been quietly waiting for you to show up.

In Small-Town Lester Prairie, Near Hutchinson, Garbers’ Meats Is A Butcher Shop Worth The Drive Through Minnesota Farm Country

Smoked salmon is one of the most talked-about items at a small butcher shop in the middle of Minnesota corn country. That alone made me stop scrolling. The surprises keep stacking up. This little meat counter also turns out jerky, cheddar brats, old-fashioned wieners, and bologna with a loyal following.

Traditional German Fare Has Filled The Tables At This 1930s-Era Tavern In New Ulm, Minnesota, For Generations

Ribs slathered in a house sauce so popular that people can buy it by the bottle to take home. That alone made me sit up and pay attention. Then I learned the ribs share a menu with schnitzel, spaetzle, red cabbage, and something called sauerkraut balls. The setting is a tavern that dates back to the 1930s, filled with old-world decor.

A Historic Minnesota Building Hides One Of The State’s Most Romantic Italian Restaurants

Old bank vault doors still stand at both ends of this dining room. Instead of guarding cash, they now watch over plates of fresh pasta. One detail I find worth mentioning is the name itself. It comes from an Italian word for a bank vault or cellar, which feels like a wink at the building’s past.

Goodbye Lake Superior, So Long Lake Minnetonka: This Minnesota Gem Is A Freshwater Fishing Paradise

It's not for nothing that Minnesota has been dubbed the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The North Star State is a fisherman's oasis, with places like Duluth offering access to Lake Superior, while folks in the Twin Cities can escape to Lake Minnetonka. Still, as serene as their natural beauty may be, summer crowding can be an issue. However, if you prefer a secluded fishing retreat off the beaten path and away from Minnesota's major cities, then say goodbye to these two destinations and hello to Little Jessie Lake. This body of water is located in Itasca County, in what is referred to as "Up North" by locals.
