Red Wing

Red Wing lies along the Mississippi River, where steep bluffs rise above a broad river valley on Minnesota’s southeastern edge. Barn Bluff, known in Dakota as He Mni Can, stands beside downtown and is a prominent landmark on this stretch of the Upper Mississippi. The city developed as a river port and became closely associated with clay: Red Wing stoneware was produced here from the 19th century. Red Wing Shoes, founded in the city in 1905, remains part of its industrial identity. Historic commercial streets, river traffic and the bluff country give the town a distinct character between Minneapolis–Saint Paul and the Iowa border.
