Granite Falls
Nestled along the banks of the Minnesota River, just past the Chippewa County border is the quaint town of Granite Falls. In our community parks, such as Memorial, Lende Plaza and Sorlien, visitors and residents alike experience the peaceful lifestyle of this prairie river community.
Today’s Granite Falls lifestyle includes many cultural opportunities including the Prairie Arts Chorale, theatre, poetry, dance and orchestra. The Western Fest Stampede PRCA Rodeo and other summer activities represent western culture annually, and the Yellow Medicine County Museum at the intersection of Hwys 23 & 67 features exhibits from Granite Falls’ past, including displays of history, geology, archaeology and Native American artifacts. With both the Yellow Medicine and Minnesota Rivers in town, recreation abounds in opportunities for fishing, paddling and birding. Or just seek out back roads and historic places for a little low-key fun. Enjoy the Granite Falls golf course, baseball at Richter Field, and lots of enjoyable activities at the Kilowatt Community Center.
The community is so proud to be home to Fagen, Inc., the largest green energy design-builder in the U.S. From local, agricultural grassroots initiatives to construction management for Fortune 500 companies, Fagen Inc. has three decades of experience and 100% family ownership to prove it is deeply rooted in Granite Falls.
