The arts thrive here. Exhibits appear year round at the Cornucopia Art Center, featuring a variety of regional artists. The Lanesboro Art Council programs more than a half dozen musical concerts a year in the historic St. Mane Theatre. For 11 months of the year, more than 20,000 people attend live professional theatre at the acclaimed Commonweal Theatre Company. And in the summer months Lanesboro’s own home-grown radio variety show, Over the Back Fence, is broadcast live on Sunday nights from the theatre stage.
A major attraction is the spectacular paved Root River State Bike Trail, winding 60 miles through the valley with Lanesboro at its heart. Excellent for biking, hiking, cross-country skiing and in-line skating, it runs along an abandoned railroad bed through high bluffs, forest lands and rolling fields. Step back in time and tour Old Order Amish at their farms. Enjoy the beauty and charm of downtown Lanesboro while touring in style and elegance in a Horse Drawn Carriage. Learn of the area's rich heritage and present day activities on a Trolley Tour.
Canoeing, inner tubing, and kayaking are favorite activities along the picturesque Root River, and hunters pursue plentiful wild turkey, grouse, pheasant and white-tailed deer in fields and woodlands. The city boasts a pristine nine-hole golf course and Sylvan Park -- one of the finest parks in the state – has excellent picnic, camping, and bath facilities, plus tennis courts.
The downtown has been revitalized, the arts flourish, tourism thrives, agriculture continues to be sustainable, and the local school is still independent. Come and see for yourself why people return time and time again to renew themselves in Lanesboro’s riches!
