Lanesboro Museum — Attraction in Lanesboro

We stumbled onto this place by accident and were pleasantly surprised by this charming little museum. As we entered we were greeted by a knowledgeable and friendly curator who pointed out some of the museums most interesting displays which included a baseball signed by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, some intricate wood carvings done by a local barber 50 years ago, and a collection of wedding dresses dating back well over 100 years. The baseball was cool but the wedding dresses were particularly unique as they were in excellent condition and were displayed with the picture of the bride in her dress from the actual wedding day.

I think this is a great stop if you love history and want to know more about the community and the...
