Make the Most of Your Owatonna Stay

A Prairie School masterpiece in southern Minnesota

Owatonna earns its place on architecture enthusiasts' itineraries through Louis Sullivan's National Farmers' Bank, a 1908 Prairie School jewel box that ranks among America's most significant buildings. The terra cotta detailing and soaring arches inside this functioning Wells Fargo branch demonstrate why Sullivan mentored Frank Lloyd Wright. The historic downtown district preserves 15 blocks of late 19th-century commercial buildings, while the Minnesota State Public School Orphanage Museum offers the nation's only institution dedicated to child welfare history, with restored Cottage 11 and stories of over 10,000 children who lived here between 1886 and 1945.

Outdoor access and regional connections

The 225-acre Kaplan's Woods Parkway provides 6 miles of trails for running or cross-country skiing, connecting to Lake Kohlmier's swimming beach. Mineral Springs Park along the Straight River offers gardens and the Mineral Springs Brewery taproom. Owatonna's position on I-35 places you an hour from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and near Rochester's Mayo Clinic district.

Where to stay and dine

Business travelers will find conference facilities at the Holiday Inn & Suites near I-35, while Torey's Restaurant & Bar downtown delivers chef-driven American cuisine. The city's nickname, "The City of Friendliness," reflects genuine Midwestern hospitality throughout the walkable downtown.
