GERTRUDE,
YOU’D LOVE THIS PLACE The author Gertrude Stein got into hot water by saying her hometown of Oakland, California, had no ‘there’ there. I think Gertrude would love Lanesboro. Why? Because there’s a ‘there’ here. An unmistakable sense of place. You feel it immediately when you arrive. You remember it long after you leave.

I saw Lanesboro for the first time on a summer day when we drove here to check out a Bed & Breakfast for sale and to see southeastern Minnesota for the first time. I expected to find a quiet, Minnesota farm town. There was so much more. “It all feels like one big park,” I remember saying. When I mentioned to a downtown shopkeeper that we were looking at a B & B, he smiled and said, “You’ll be here in six months.” He was right. We had discovered the ‘there’ of Lanesboro, Minnesota. Yes, Gertrude, you’d love this place. From “Lanesboro, Minnesota,” by Steve Harris
