Introduction
Faribault is a city in and the county seat of Rice County, Minnesota, in the exurban area located to the south of the Minneapolis—St. Paul region representative of the Twin Cities. Located in the Faribault area is the Rice County Historical Society, though the venue is physically located more or less on the northern fringe of the city. More centrally located are the Jesus Statue at Peace Park, the Alexander Faribault House, and the Batchelder’s Block. The Fleur de Lis Gallery is located within the downtown area, and across Central Avenue North is the Paradise Center for the Arts, representing the community values of education, civics, inclusivity, and fine arts and encouraging the freedom of identity and expression.
Where to Stay
The signature place to stay within Faribault, Minnesota, is the Inn at Shattuck-Saint Mary’s, notable for overlooking the Straight River near the confluence with the Cannon River. Unfortunately, however, the remaining places to stay are largely corporatized and otherwise privatized, resulting in a seemingly monolithic and repetitive experience outside the Inn.
