Along with a few buildings considered National Historic Landmarks, there is a museum dedicated to Charles Lindbergh, a beautiful riverfront, and a campground.Even farther east is the massive Mille Lacs Lake, a popular place for residents of Minneapolis and St. Paul to get away during the summer months. This large lake reigns supreme in a state known for having “10,000 lakes,” with several recreation areas dotting its shores. Father Hennepin State Park is one of the parks, named for a Catholic priest and explorer who came to the region centuries ago.
