“If the scenery in Winona doesn’t win you over, the short workweeks and low cost of living might.” – Nerd Wallet, “Best Small Cities in America,” June 2015

“The Midwest’s most beloved secret.” – The Culture Trip, “The 10 Most Beautiful Towns in Minnesota,” March 2015

“Winona is emerging as a full-blown arts destination, with the see-it-to-believe-it Minnesota Marine Art Museum, the Great River Shakespeare Festival, the Frozen River Film Festival and musical events ranging from the Minnesota Beethoven Festival to the Mid West Music Fest.
