We attended a rock concert (The BoDeans) at the Sheldon Theatre. We were in the very last row of the lower level and still felt close to the stage with a good view of the band and excellent sound. We would definitely attend other shows here.

Red Wing Arts Association

Reviewed By 615bettys - Decatur, United States

In addition to information about local venues, the historic Red Wing train depot houses the RW Arts Association, complete with for-sale art and jewelry from local artists. Since Red Wing is my home town, I knew that Marjorie Vogel was the founder of the Arts Association, and the gallery at this venue bears her name.

Barn Bluff

A 350-foot cliff that was so named because of its resemblance to a barn.

Reviewed By garhalloweenfield - Minneapolis, United States

On the main street in Red Wind you can see a tall bluff ahead. If you look closely, you can see people up there. Little did I realize that shortly, we would be up there walking around! I was hoping you could drive farther up the bluff before walking the rest of the way. but I wanted to give it a try. I'm in my 60's and stopped several times along the way since it's a steep path in places. It was but wooded and enjoyable and even got to see a large bird of prey take off from a nearby tree. The view was spectacular at the top!! Even though it was a bit of a workout reaching the top, it was very rewarding!

Colvill Park

Reviewed By EngelkingCGMN - Cottage Grove, United States

With the fall weather starting, my wife and I enjoyed sitting on a bench overlooking the river while our 11-year-old played at the park. This would be a great place to bring a picnic lunch and relax because there are a lot of picnic tables as well as a covered pavilion that can be reserved for a fee. If no reservations, then available first come first served. Call 651-385-3674 for more information.
