Review & FAQ:
Perched on the banks of the St. Croix River directly across from the Twin Cities, Hudson is a picturesque river town with a welcoming, leisurely atmosphere. The downtown shops sell everything from antiques to local handicrafts to artisan chocolates, and the peaceful Lakefront Park is a wonderful place to have a picnic or listen to the live music that's often played here on Sunday evenings. If you like architecture or historic homes, you should also take a tour of the unique Octagon House Museum, which can be found among the elegant Victorian homes on Third Street.
