Have you ever been to Jackson, Minnesota? If you’re like most people, you’ve probably never even heard of it. This small town of around 3,000 people is located in southern Minnesota, just a few miles north of the Iowa border. Jackson may lack the hustle and bustle that draws so many to the Twin Cities, but it has a charm all its own. Perhaps the most charming fixture in town? A unique hotel called the Old Railroad Inn Bed & Breakfast.

The Old Railroad Inn has a long history.

The Old Railroad Inn dates back to 1880, when it was used as a boarding house for rail workers.
When the boarding house was converted into the comfortable inn it was today, the owners preserved the railroad legacy while adding modern conveniences.

The inn may be over 100 years old, but it still has the amenities we've come to expect in the 21st century. Cable and high-speed internet are available. There's also a playground outside to entertain younger guests.
Despite the modern touches, much of the inn's decor has a traditional look.
