Nicollet County, Minnesota

The Minnesota River bends through the heart of Nicollet County, carving out a lush valley in south-central Minnesota.
St. Peter is the county seat. This river town is home to Gustavus Adolphus College. Farms spread out across the eastern part of the county. Whereas the western edge rises into wooded bluffs.
Farmers markets pop up in town squares, and the smell of grilled sweet corn fills the air at community festivals. Nicollet County is a place where history, nature, and community all come together in a laid-back way.
