Elkton, MN

united states

Elkton is a tiny farming town of 94 people in southeastern Minnesota's Mower County, about 15 miles northeast of Austin via Highway 56. From the Twin Cities, take I-35 south to Highway 56 for a 110-mile drive through agricultural country. The town sits amid rolling prairie farmland under Minnesota's continental climate. EV drivers should charge in Austin since rural options are limited. The classic white grain elevator still stands along Highway 56, marking Elkton's agricultural roots.
