WELCOME To Harmony

There are a number of delightful discoveries waiting for you in our community. We pride ourselves on maintaining a small town atmosphere, but are also known as “The Biggest Little Town in Southern Minnesota�.

Harmony is a beautiful place to live or visit and we invite you to explore all that our town has to offer. Visitors to our community will enjoy exploring Niagara Cave and the Amish countryside, as well as shopping an assortment of gift, antique, craft, furniture and other unique shops in our area.

Residents and visitors alike enjoy fine restaurants and recreational biking on 60 miles of paved trail. Those who live and work here appreciate the excellent school system and local access to all of the amenities we like to have close to home: grocery store, clinic, pharmacy, hardware store, movie theatre, repair services, veterinary clinic, dog boarding, and other essential services for convenient daily living.

Visitors are encouraged to stop in the Harmony Visitor Center and talk with one of our friendly volunteers. We are here to help you make the most of your time in Harmony, and make sure that you don’t miss a thing!

We invite you to experience a little Harmony in your life- you may even discover a new place to call home!

Sincerely,

Becky Hoff
