There’s A Little Known Unique Park In Minnesota… And It’s Truly Amazing

Set on 15 acres of the beautiful Tower View estate in Red Wing, you can find one of the state’s premier sculpture gardens and artist communities. It is truly among Minnesota’s most spectacular hidden gems, and can provide countless hours of entertainment.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

The sculpture garden at the Anderson Center has an observation deck for you to overlook the acres of the art, walking trails, and beautiful views of the Cannon River Valley.

You'll love looking at the 30+ sculptures spread throughout the property by nationally and internationally recognized artists.

The largest artist community in the upper midwest, the center also boasts plenty of gallery and studio space for year-round and seasonal artists. Their artist community is also one of only twenty in the nation with buildings on the National Historic Register.

After walking through the park, you can check out the artists' work and the gorgeous restored buildings.

More than 6,000 people attend events at the center each year, and it is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.
