In rural Minnesota farm country, it’s easy to think there isn’t much to do. That's not necessarily correct. There’s plenty of places to see and attractions to explore in the small towns dotting the landscape. A rental RV makes roaming the countryside comfortable while visiting places such as The International Owl Center, located in Houston. This is the only owl education center in the United States. Founded in 1996 with a single injured owl, the center has grown to house dozens of owls, most of which are rehabilitated and released back into the wild (when possible). The rest are transferred to zoos to become residents and ambassador owls. Check online for their visiting hours; they change often throughout the year.
