It is no accident that we chose to move to Lanesboro in 2004. For a town with a population less than 800, Lanesboro has a remarkable number of things for visitors (and residents) to do, and we are its enthusiastic ambassadors. Lanesboro is noteworthy for (and not limited to) the following:
- Commonweal Theatre
- Lanesboro Arts Center
- Root River Bike Trail, with Lanesboro as its hub
- Amish settlements nearby
- Bed and Breakfasts
- A vibrant arts community
- Memorable dining experiences
- Local breweries – Sylvan Brewing and Karst Brewing
- Root River – canoeing, kayaking, tubing
- Local caves – Niagara Cave and Mystery Cave State Park
- Lanesboro Stone Arch Dam
- Overall scenic beauty
