Lanesboro Minnesota This past week my girlfriend and I visited a really fun and fascinating small town called Lanesboro. It is in the heart of Amish country of Minnesota. We biked the spectacular paved Root River Bike Trail, winding 60 miles through Bluff Country. It's excellent for biking, hiking, and cross-country skiing, it runs along towering limestone bluffs, dense hardwood forests and peaceful small towns. Beautiful! One of the great things to do in that part of the state is to stay in a Bed and Breakfast, which is what we did in nearby Preston, Minnesota. We stayed in the renovated Filmore County Jail. Yes, a jail! Only it was completely homey, and even, elegant. We did our biking straight from the B&B. I can only imagine the beautiful colors of Autumn, but I have every intention of going back. As mentioned, Lanesboro is right in the midst of Amish farms and homesteads. Being that the Amish people are well known for their skilled craftsmanship and wonderful foods, I'd like to go back, only with a larger vehicle, and buy a small piece of furniture (a rocking chair) and maybe a quilt or other blanket. So much to do, so little time! Contributor's Note I highly recommend visiting Lanesboro and staying at a B&B!
