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.

Once the largest producer of stoneware in the country, Red Wing Stoneware and Pottery began in 1877, making crocks and jugs. As the country grew and changed, so did our company, creating vases, art pottery, and dinnerware.Today we fire up our salt glaze kiln to produce a full line of mugs, crocks, bakeware and kitchen pieces. Watch potters at the wheel creating our wares, and shop our pottery salesroom, gift shop, candy store, and coffee shop. Our stoneware factory (four miles north) offers weekday tours of the zinc glaze process that produces vintage stoneware with the iconic red wing.

We visited many of the stores in the building. The boutiques have some nice things to choose. The antique has row after row of all kinds of things - all displayed neatly. Was fun to meander and look. Hot outside but nice and cool in the large building. All the salespeople we met were very friendly, Many benches to stop and rest between shops. We had a fun time.
