Introduction
Located at the northwest corner of the State of Minnesota, bordering on both the State of North Dakota to the west and the Canadian Province of Manitoba to the north, is Kittson County, Minnesota, a county of under five thousand residents that uses Hallock as the county seat.
Amenities
Though the City of Hallock, a community of around nine hundred residents, serves as the county seat of Kittson County, the historical society associated with the county is located further east, in the Lake Bronson area along Route 59. Hallock is located at the junction of Routes 75 and 175, with minimal community amenities as is typical in many of the smaller communities throughout the northwestern portion of the State. Further southeast is the City of Karlstad, home to the Kick’n Up Kountry Music Festival and Moosefest. Every June, this country music festival represents one of the fastest-growing country music festivals in the Midwest, in recent years having attracted over sixty thousand attendees.
