STAR OF THE NORTH ? MINNESOTA TRAVEL STORIES

Ever fished for ?Minnesota Gold? or tasted your way through our famed State Fair? We invited travelers from across the United States to make authentic Minnesota memories, from wandering the Hmongtown marketplace to kayaking the turquoise waters of a former iron ore mine. Want to follow in their steps? These video travel stories and matching, custom itineraries all start in Minneapolis and St. Paul and wind across our scenic state.

There?s only one question: how will you explore Minnesota, the Star of the North?

"SEEING NOTHING BUT BLUE AND GREEN, IT FELT LIKE I WAS ON A DIFFERENT PLANET"

Best friends Ben and Claire, food professionals from New York City, snack their way across the state: dining at James Beard-award-winning Owamni, foraging their own mushrooms, and sampling everything they see at that great foodie get-together -- the Minnesota State Fair.
