Nestled amidst river bluffs on the sharpest navigable bend on the Mississippi, Red Wing presents the perfect mix of river town history, artistry, theatre, crafts – and great shoes, of course.
Red Wing is an antique and pottery lover’s paradise, and also is home to dozens of one-of-a-kind clothing, gift and craft stores. From the beautiful downtown to the historic Pottery Place Mall, you’ll find unique treasures to warm your heart and make you smile long after you’ve left. Culinary confections, candles, hand-blown glass and Scandinavian and German keepsakes all await personal discovery. And the famous Red Wing Shoes and Red Wing Stoneware are purchased and collected across the country.
The town boasts one of the finest small theatres in the Midwest. The community is devoted and beloved to the beautifully restored Sheldon Performing Arts Theatre (built in 1904), and welcomes the draw of nationally known acts.
In the Arts, the Red Wing Arts Association Gallery gives you your first glimpse of works by talented local artists. Natural history buffs and young history protégés are fascinated by the Goodhue County Historical Center’s exhibits, and welcome our recent addition to our long list of activities, the Falconer Vineyards Winery, now open for tours and tasting.
Red Wing’s lodging leads the league in small-town lodging. The St James Hotel has provided the finest accommodations since 1875. None of its 61 guestrooms are alike, and each is named after a riverboat that used to pass through Red Wing. Seven charming motels provide travelers with more lodging options, and offer amenities you might not expect.
More importantly, Red Wing is much more than good shoes. It’s great people.
