Taylors Falls: US 8: U.S.8 WB @ T.H.95 (Bench St)
Taylors Falls has served as a lumber and river town in the St. Croix Valley since the mid-19th century. Here, the St. Croix River forms Minnesota’s border with Wisconsin and cuts through the basalt gorge known as the Dalles of the St. Croix. Interstate State Park protects large glacial potholes carved into the rock, while Wisconsin’s corresponding park stands across the river. The compact town centre lies near the junction of Minnesota Highways 8 and 95 and retains buildings from its river-trade era. The river beside Taylors Falls is part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, a protected corridor of bluffs, public land and water.

Few towns in Minnesota have a history as closely tied to lumbering and river transport as Taylors Falls. Set beside the St. Croix River, the town faces St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, across a waterway protected as part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Interstate State Park preserves the dramatic Dalles of the St. Croix, where glacial meltwater cut potholes and a steep river gorge through ancient rock. Taylors Falls also retains 19th-century character in the Folsom House, an 1850s Greek Revival home associated with the town’s early commercial life.

Forests, prairie and a vast lake country define much of Minnesota – these environments sustain farming, recreation and communities accustomed to long, cold winters. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in the north, then crosses the state on its way south, while Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline brings a markedly different, rocky Great Lakes character to the northeast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul form the Twin Cities on the river, the state’s principal urban centre. Minnesota is also home to Dakota and Ojibwe communities whose cultural presence remains central to the region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
