Austin

The Cedar River defines the setting of Austin — flowing through this southern Minnesota city, it creates a green corridor in a community shaped by prairie-country agriculture and industry. Austin is the home of Hormel Foods, founded here in 1891, and the SPAM Museum examines the story of its internationally known canned meat product. The Hormel Historic Home preserves part of the family’s local legacy, while the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center provides woodland and prairie trails near town. Mower County farmland extends beyond the city. See how Austin fits within southeastern Minnesota by browsing webcams nearby.
