Historic River Small Business Charming College Town

Nestled along the Minnesota River less than two hours southwest of Minneapolis, the city of New Ulm is a charming delight, filled with a welcoming community, local businesses, and historic sites. Home to Martin Luther College, New Ulm features a scenic campus with historic structures and a youthful, positive presence. The Hermann Monument Society is a 102-foot monument located just outside of the college’s campus that’s been a local gem since 1897.

The Brown County Historic City, New Ulm’s Glockenspiel, and the Kiesling House are a few of the additional historic sites located throughout the city. Many local restaurants, specialty shops, and convenient services reside in New Ulm’s quaint downtown district. Be sure to check out the nearby German Park to stroll through a scenic green space with pavilions, fountains, monuments, and playgrounds. For even more outdoor views, visit Flandrau State Park, offering a swimming pool, camping sites, hiking trails, and a country club.
