ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
 
 

As you drive down one of the gently curving roads into Lanesboro, you are immediately struck by the magic of this historic village snugly nestled in the embrace of limestone bluffs. With eagles circling the towering hardwoods above the valley, Lanesboro’s quality of life is self-evident. The landscape offers year round opportunities for recreation on the 60-mile paved bike trail, the river, forested bluffs, and park. The town offers surprising amenities for a population of 788: fine dining, live theatre, fine art, a world-class environmental center, an independent school, local farmer’s market, independent grocery store, and a small, but smart bank. There is definitely a strong entrepreneurial spirit in the area. Numerous successful businesses have been built from the ground up, and others have flourished under new ownership.

Lanesboro is also a highly active community, offering many ways to be involved, including the Lions, American Legion and Legion Auxiliary, the Sons of Norway, Friends of the Library, Chamber of Commerce, Booster Club, Art Council, Community Theatre, and three active churches. Whatever first brought you to Lanesboro, we invite you to stay and experience why national publications have called us one of the “Top 20 Dream Towns,” and one of “The 100 Best Small Art Towns” in the nation.
