Lake Benton

Lake Benton combines the civic role of a county seat with the measured pace of a small lakeside community, a contrast that reflects its position on the prairie of western Minnesota. The city stands beside Lake Benton, the waterbody that gave it its name, amid a broad agricultural region close to the South Dakota line. As the seat of Lincoln County, it is a local centre for public life as well as a residential town. The Lake Benton Opera House, erected in 1896, preserves a link to the era when such halls hosted entertainment and community gatherings.
