Between trips to Minnesota's national and state parks, why not spend some time exploring the many landmarks and monuments that are scattered around the state? The best sites offer scenery and a fascinating dive into the rich and storied history of the region.
Learn about mining history at the Mountain Iron Mine, a National Historic Landmark that lies north of Duluth. This open-pit mine ran from 1892-1956; now, it's filled with water. Enjoy beautiful views from Mountain Iron Locomotive Park. Then, drive to the Split Rock Lighthouse, which sits high on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior. This iconic landmark served as a safety beacon for ships until 1969. Today, it's open to visitors. If you're coming by RV, these sites are best visited from spring through fall — winter brings heavy snow and frigid temperatures.
Minnesota has long been home to indigenous people. Some of the most fascinating sites are located at the Kathio Site, which has 19 different archaeological sites dating back to 3,000 BC. Continue your exploration of the state's Native American traditions at Pipestone National Monument, where local tribal groups have been quarrying red stone for sacred pipes for generations. For a lesson in more recent history, visit the Andrew Volstead House museum to learn about Minnesota's ties to Prohibition.
