estled amidst river bluffs on the sharpest
navigable bend on the Mississippi
River, 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-ofa-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,

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.
Red Wing’s newest attractions are Red Wing
Shoe Store & Museum featuring the world’s
largest boot – size 6381/2! – and Red Wing

soups, and sides.
