"Birthplace of America" Thousands of years ago glaciers carved there way through the area and left behind hundreds of lakes, woods and hills. Later, the Vikings trekked through our area on their journey to discovery, therefore our Viking statue nicknamed "Big Ole" has become the historical landmark of Alexandria along with the famous Kensington Runestone and the Runestone Museum. Imagine living year around where you love to vacation? Alexandria is well known for it's famous "Chain of Lakes" connecting the seven lakes, as well as 203 additional lakes in the county. Alexandria is located only a couple of hours from the Twin Cities on I-94. The Alexandria Area is home to over 34,000 people and 1,000 business. Our lakes are clean, golfers love the variety of ten golf locations and there are many wonderful restaurants, shopping malls, and clubs. Alexandria has become the hub for medical care and if you adore the arts, the Alexandria Area Arts Association offers outstanding performances all year long, as well as our summer Theatre LeHommeDieu which has been home to aspiring performers for four decades. And if you are a wine connoisseur, Alexandria's Carlos Creek Winery has been internationally recognized as a producer of fine wines. Who would ever think of wineries in a climate that fluctuates as much as investments? As the billboards advertise "ALEXANDRIA....Easy to get to, Hard to leave," once you have visited you will understand why hundreds of families relocate to the lakes area every year.
