Review & FAQ:
With its inviting blend of German heritage and Midwestern charm, New Ulm is a unique little city that makes a perfect day trip destination. The most iconic sight in the city is the Hermann Heights Monument, more commonly known as Hermann the German, a 102-foot statue with an observation platform at the base. Other attractions include the Morgan Creek Vineyards, the Harkin Store history museum, and the German-style Schell’s Brewery. If you're a music fan, you'll also likely want to visit the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, where you can see photos and memorabilia of famous musicians like Bob Dylan, Prince, and Judy Garland.
