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.

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.

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

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!

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.
