Afton

Afton straddles the St. Croix River valley in eastern Minnesota, where this borderland waterway helped shape a 19th-century river town. The St. Croix forms the Minnesota–Wisconsin state line here, while wooded bluffs rise behind the settlement and the river continues south toward its confluence with the Mississippi. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Afton Historic District preserves a compact main street and buildings recalling the era of river trade. South of town, Afton State Park protects riverfront prairie and forest, with trails and a public beach.
