Longville,Minnesota

a city of all seasons

Longville is an energetic community that is full of surprises. One surprise is that the city’s population is only 156. Another surprise is that this small town has become famous for activities and events that entertain thousands of people throughout the year.

The trademark Longville event is the turtle races, held each Wednesday afternoon, June through August. For more than 40 summers, downtown Longville morphs into a mini-carnival, with games, contests, prizes and food. But the star attraction is the turtles, where racers of all ages compete for overall Grand Champion and Grand Slowpoke honors. But Longville is much more than turtles. Throughout the year, the town hosts everything from classic car shows, outdoor music and art fairs and an ice bocce tournament to a free Easter egg hunt for local children, a pancake breakfast at the Longville airport and all-day Oktoberfest festivities. There’s literally “something for everyone” in Longville. In May, the Run/ Walk/Ride Around Woman showcases beautiful Woman Lake. This certified 30K run is accompanied by a 5-mile run/walk and a recreational family bike ride, always held the first Saturday in May along scenic north woods courses. The town observes Fourth of July with an all-day celebration, starting with a parade through town and ending with a dazzling fireworks display over Girl Lake. In between are games, food booths, pony rides and contests. Most of these events have evolved from Longville’s history as a popular vacation destination for the visitors who come to the area’s resorts, campgrounds, cabins and seasonal homes. But Longville is also home to families seeking a peaceful place to raise their children, and retirees who have chosen the area for its beauty and recreation. Today, Longville offers public tennis courts, a challenging golf course and many lakes surrounded by golden sand beaches and towering pine trees. The Woman Lake chain is the acknowledged jewel of the area, with Girl Lake meandering right into town, offering boat access to all of downtown. For all who visit or live here, the Margaret Welch Memorial Library offers year-round services as part of the Kitchigami Regional Library System. Longville is the smallest town in Minnesota to have a public library. Longville is also one of the smallest towns to have its own municipal airport, especially one that offers a courtesy car for pilots (on a first come, first served basis). The airport, located on the north edge of town, has a 3781 x 75 foot asphalt runway and 24-hour self-serve fuel availability. Longville is a vibrant community with something for everybody. We invite you to come and experience all that Longville has to offer.

Longville is surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest which is rich in woods and water habitat where many of Minnesota’s 313 regular bird species nest during the late spring and early summer. From anywhere around Longville one can look up and often see a soaring Bald Eagle, one of hundreds that nest in the forest area. Longville’s forests are home to Black-capped Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches, woodpeckers including the magnificent Pileated, Baltimore Oriole, Rosebreasted Grosbeak, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Eastern Phoebi, Song Sparrow, Gray Catbird, Red-eyed Vireo, Yellow Warbler, American Goldfinch, Purple Finch, American Crow, Blue Jays, and American Robin. Near the shore or on the lake will be Tree Swallows, Belted Kingfishers, Eastern Kingbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds, Green Blue Herons, Common Loons, Ring-billed Gulls, Wood Ducks and Mallards. The Longville area is included in the Audubon-Great River Birding Trail, one of the major birding trails in Minnesota. The trail of sites along the Great River Road begins at the Mississippi River headwaters at Lake Itasca, about one hour northwest of Longville.

LONGVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

Longville Municipal Airport, located less than 1/2 mile north of town on Highway 84, is within walking distance of downtown Longville’s friendly stores, restaurants and motel. Because the airport is centrally located among the approximately 400 area lakes, when you fly into Longville it is a quick getaway to your favorite resort or vacation spot. Serving Longville and the surrounding communities for over 50 years the airport provides a convenient and safe location for North Memorial Air Care helicopter to intercept critical medical and trauma patients for the fastest possible transportation to medical care centers. The airport is also a base of operations for several local pilots who donate their time and aircraft for charitable flights through non-profit organizations such as Angel Flights and Veterans Airlift Command, providing transportation to people and families in need of specific medical care at distant locations. The Longville Flyers, an active flying group, meet informally on Saturday mornings at Patrick’s restaurant and welcome all pilots and aviation enthusiasts to join them at 9:00 AM for breakfast or coffee.

MN A CITY OF ALL SEASONS

The Turtle Racing Capital of the World

All games, contests and races are held right in the center of downtown Longville on Main Street (County Road 5). When you register for the races you will receive a turtle race button with a numbered sticker that matches your numbered paper badge. Racers are called by those numbers and compete in heats of 10 to 15, so listen for your number when the races are underway. In each heat, the fastest and “slowpoke” winners will receive ribbons and qualify for the final championship races. You may bring your own turtle to race but there are a couple of rules—its shell must measure at least 4 inches in diameter and it cannot be a snapping turtle or exotic species. If you don’t have a turtle of your own, you can race one of ours. Turtle vendors supply us for the whole summer and are on hand to help you. When your race is called, enter the race circle and get a turtle from the turtle vendors (unless you’ve brought your own). Put your numbered sticker on your turtle’s shell, go to the starting circle, put your turtle on the ground behind the line and wait for the announcer to give the “start” signal. After the race has started, carefully exit the circle, being sure not to step on any turtles. If you earn either fastest or slowpoke honors, the judges will give you a ribbon. You can compete against all other heat winners for grand champion honors in the final races of the day.

A Special Resort Turtle Race

The first race of the day is for representatives of Chamber-member resorts (listed in this brochure and on www.Longville.com). Ask your resort if you can represent them. They will give you a special Resort Race Ticket, which you will need to present when you register on Turtle Race Day.

NOTE: There is a registration fee to race in the Resort Race. There is also a special table for Resort Race registration. Resort racers do not have to wait in the regular registration line.

Hand washing facilities

In the interest of good health, we provide a hand-washing station and encourage everyone to clean their hands after handling the turtles.
