What to Know
In Glencoe, the McLeod County Fair is a treasured late-summer tradition in the Minnesota River valley's northern reaches, celebrating the dairy and grain farming that has sustained this community since German and Scandinavian settlers arrived in the 1850s. Glencoe is a quintessential small Minnesota county seat.
Before You Go
Glencoe's compact, friendly downtown is worth a stroll before heading to the fairgrounds — the historic courthouse square captures the essence of small-town Minnesota.
