“Victorian, Limestone, Root River Valley”
About This Location
Lanesboro sits in the Root River valley of Minnesota's Driftless Area—a geological anomaly where glaciers never flattened the landscape, leaving behind steep wooded bluffs, clear trout streams, and a small Victorian town built from local limestone that reads as both New England and Midwest simultaneously. Minnesota Film & TV promotes Lanesboro for its distinctive limestone commercial architecture and its extraordinary natural setting: the river valley floor, bluff overlooks, and surrounding hardwood forest all within minutes of a photogenic downtown. The town's active arts community—including a professional theater operating year-round—has created an infrastructure unusually supportive of creative production activity for a community of 750 people.
