Visit our Amish Settlement The Harmony Area is home to Minnesota’s largest Amish settlement. Over 100 Old Order Amish families live in the countryside near Harmony. “Old Order” indicates that they are very private people and use only limited technology in their homes and businesses. The Amish of Harmony began their move to this area in 1974 and have grown to over 1,000 people with ten church “districts” and ten one-room schools. Another Old Order Amish group has recently begun settling in nearby Granger, Minnesota. The Amish primarily make their living through farming, construction and by making and selling crafts. Baskets, furniture, jams, rugs, quilts, baked goods and cashew crunch are among the items available for sale

in local businesses and at farmers’ markets, Amish homes and roadside stands. Visitors to the Harmony area can visit Amish farms and merchants by booking a tour through Amish Tours of Harmony located in the Sugar Plum House. The tour company offers comfortable van tours, guided tours in your own vehicle, or can provide a guide for your bus group. Another tour option is The Amish Backroads CD Tour. This audio guided tour is available for rent at the Village Depot or Amish Connection gift shops in Harmony.

Cave Exploration

Harmony is located within the Driftless Area of the Upper Midwest. This region was not covered by glaciers during the most recent ice age over 12,000 years ago. As a result, the landscape in our region is unique from the rest of the state. The countryside is rich with bluffs, rolling hills, springs, creeks, sinkholes and caves. Just south of Harmony, Niagara Cave is one of the most fascinating and distinctive geological attractions in the United States. It is consistently rated one of the top ten caves in the U.S.!

Visitors to Niagara Cave will be taken on a one-hour guided tour where they will hike a mile underground, discover fossils around 450 million years old, see cave formations both delicate and massive and view an underground stream as it flows over a waterfall. Niagara Cave is 48 degrees yearround so wear a jacket and don’t forget to pack your sneakers! Another nearby option for cave exploration is the Mystery Cave located in nearby Forestville State Park.

River Activities Although Harmony does not have a river running through it, the Root and Upper Iowa rivers are close by! Both rivers have nearby starting points for canoeing, kayaking and tubing. The Root River offers many activities including some of the best trout fishing in the United States.

Biking The Harmony-Preston Valley State Trail starts right behind Harmony’s Visitor Center. It connects Harmony to the Root River Trail system with over 60 miles of recreational trail! This DNR maintained trail allows biking, walking, cross-country skiing, hiking and roller blading. The trail travels through lovely countryside and amongst the wildlife, passing through a variety of wooded areas, pastoral farm sites, rolling hills and near spring-fed Camp Creek. The trail head features a life-sized wood-carved hobo camp, picnic shelter, playground parking lot and visitor center.

Fishing & Wildlife

Only a few miles from Harmony are some of the finest trout streams in the state. The Root River winds its way through the area, offering ample fishing opportunities for all. Three fishing platforms provide access to trout fishing in Camp Creek just outside of nearby Preston. Many types of trout are found and stocked in the streams close to Preston such as brown trout, wild brook trout, brookies, rainbow trout, small mouth bass, channel catfish, rock bass, sunfish, crappies and rough fish. Fishing licenses can be purchased in Preston.

As well as fishing, there are over 40 species of birds that are common in this area including blue herons, egrets, wood ducks, red-tailed hawks, osprey, turkey vultures and bald eagles. Harmony and the Fillmore County area are a hunter’s dream! Our wooded hilly areas, streams and creeks are teeming with wildlife. Hunters and photographers will find white-tail deer, wild turkey, pheasants, partridge, grouse, gray fox, red fox, coyotes, raccoons, woodchucks, squirrels, weasels, badgers, beavers and rabbits in the area.

Recreation & Parks

Harmony offers entertainment for the whole family! Kids have a choice of three different playgrounds to enjoy. Selvig Park is located on Harmony’s Main Street and boasts new playground equipment installed in 2013. The Trailhead Park offers a new playground, a picnic area, life-sized ‘Hobo Camp’ statues, and is located right on the Harmony-Preston Valley Trail. Our third playground is right next to the golf course. Parents can enjoy a round of golf at the 9-hole Harmony Golf Course while the kids play nearby. For camping enthusiasts, there are many places to stay in the Harmony area.

Many campgrounds are close to the bike trail as well as the river! Enjoy tubing, kayaking or canoeing down the Upper Iowa River or the Root River. Harmony offers a 9-hole disc golf course open for all to enjoy! Located at the Harmony Trailhead, the disc golf course is free to play. If you didn’t bring your discs, the Harmony Visitor Center will loan you some. Mini Golf - Niagara Cave offers an 18-hole mini-golf course, with holes 1-9 being handicapped accessible. They also offer gemstone and fossil mining, a popular feature that kids enjoy.

Winter Recreation

Winter recreational opportunities abound in the Harmony area! During the winter months, the HarmonyPreston State Valley Trail is groomed for cross country skiing. Local residents also enjoy snowshoeing near the trail as well as in local parks. Neighboring Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center offers a variety of outdoor events through the winter months. Snowmobiling enthusiasts will appreciate extensive snowmobile trails which connect to many communities throughout Southeast Minnesota. The trails run over rolling hills, past

gorgeous bluffs and along frozen rivers allowing one to see an abundance of wildlife and breathtaking scenery. The trails are maintained by a volunteer group, the Bluff Valley Riders.
