Winona...a small city with a
big heart, nestled between the bluffs and the
mighty Mississippi River, Winona is surrounded
by spectacular natural beauty, wrapped in history,
and steeped in cultural legacy.
Founded by a steamboat captain in 1851, Winona's
location on an island in the Mississippi made
it a transportation hub and one of the nation's
richest cities by 1900. This legacy remains in
the form of historic buildings and vintage homes,
and in an ongoing harmony with the river.
Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast,
history buff, architectural admirer, wildlife
watcher, antique shopper, arts supporter, and/or
life-long learner, you'll love all that Winona
has to offer. The friendly people of
Winona invite you to come visit, explore, and
enjoy our scenic beauty, history, cultural arts,
attractions and festivals. You'll be glad you
discovered Winona and will want to return time
and time again.
