Eitzen, MN

united states

Eitzen is a tiny farming community in Minnesota's southeastern corner, near the Iowa border and Mississippi River bluffs. Take Highway 26 south from La Crosse (25 miles) or east from Rochester via Highway 16 then south on 26 (45 miles). The village sits where rolling Driftless Area farmland meets wooded ridges, creating scenic rural drives especially during fall color season. The restored 1876 stone schoolhouse serves as the community's historic centerpiece.
