The landscape around Alexandria is a low, lake-dotted stretch of central Minnesota, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. Lake Agnes lies beside the downtown area, while the wider Alexandria Chain of Lakes connects the city to a region associated with boating, fishing and seasonal resorts. Alexandria is home to the Runestone Museum, where the Kensington Runestone is displayed; the inscribed slab was found near Kensington, Minnesota, in 1898 and remains the subject of debate over its origin.
