Visiting the Red Wing Area:

Red Wing is an easy drive of less than an hour from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, or the Rochester area. Here are some options for driving to Red Wing:

1. Take Highway 61 through Hastings and begin your tour at the Anderson Center on the outskirts of Red Wing. You will see the big brick wall on the left side of the road just after crossing the Cannon River. There are three artist studios in the Anderson Center.

2. As an alternative to driving through Hastings, take Highway 10 to Prescott Wisconsin. Follow scenic Hwy 35 from Prescott along the Mississippi to Hwy K just past Diamond Bluff. Take Hwy K to the right (South) to Hager City. Two studios are located just off of K. Hager City is just across the river from Red Wing.

3. Take highway 52 to Cannon Falls. Follow beautiful country road Hwy 19 to Red Wing. Just before reaching 61 you will see Stoney End Hobgoblin Barn. Hwy 19 ends at 61 - just across from the Anderson Center. Nearby are Dan Wiemer on Spring Creek Road (you can get there from Mill rd off of 19, or from Hwy 61). Falconer Vineyards is on Tyler Road off of 61.

4. Or from Hwy 19 between Cannon Falls and Red Wing take 51 South at Vasa to Hwy 1. NOTE: Highway 1 is NOT open between 61 and Featherstone. You can also get to Featherstone from Spring Creek and 61 in Red Wing.

5. From Southeast of Red Wing, or Rochester take Highway 61 from Lake City into downtown Red Wing. Or come into Red Wing on 61 from Hastings. More studios are within the city of Red Wing.

From any of these location you will be just minutes away from more artists and more studios. No matter how you come to Red Wing you will find it a beautiful drive through rolling hills, coulee's and river valleys. What better way to spend a fall weekend day?
