Located in the heart of the Midwest, Minnesota is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The state has a rich culture and history and is home to 17 Fortune 500 companies, the internationally renowned Mayo Clinic, the thriving Twin Cities metro area, and the vast agricultural, forest, mining, and prairie lands of Greater Minnesota.

Minnesota is an exciting state to explore, from our State Fair (where you can enjoy one of over 60 types of various food on a stick), to the SPAM Museum in Austin, to one of Minnesota's 11,843 lakes, including the beautiful, rugged shoreline of our largest lake – Lake Superior.
