Maiden Rock Bluff protects one of the areas premiere limestone cliff faces on a bluff high above the Mississippi River overlooking Lake Pepin. The view of the river valley is said to be the best in the four-state area. The site is open to the public for walking, bird watching and other low impact recreation.

Maidenwood is a wedding, reception and event center with overnight accommodations set in the countryside between Maiden Rock and Stockholm. A 48 x 53 foot barn, newly finished inside with white-washed pine, is the focal point on four acres of lawn, perennial gardens, towering oaks, pine, spruce and flowering trees. Overnight guests also have access to an additional 76 acres of woods and tallgrass prairie threaded with walking trails. Weddings can be held at various lovely sites--the Towering Oak Circle,the Meadowside, the Lake Overlook, the Stone Circle and other locations. Lighted trees and scattered tables and chairs invite guests to explore the grounds and a fire circle encourages lingering by the event barn. Plenty of parking is available and buses can be arranged for groups. Owner Deborah Hansen is available to help engaged couples and their families plan their weddings and receptions using the finest local resources for flowers, food, photography and decor. Deb also rents crystal, silver, flatware, vintage plates and linens for such additional occasions as wedding and baby showers, bridal luncheons, garden parties, tea parties, memorial services and reunions. In the charming "Bridal Suite," brides can dress for the occasion and watch from a second-floor picture window as guests arrive below. When festivities are over, bride and groom can simply retreat to their suite for the night and have a simply delicious breakfast waiting in the morning. The attractive barn, with lots of natural light and a center chandelier, is also a great space for the Cameo Life Stories writing workshops conducted by Deborah Hansen, author of the book Cameo Life Stories Writing Guide for Everywoman.

In the Village of Stockholm there is a small, picturesque museum in a building that was once the old Post Office. It is the home of the Stockholm Institute, a historical society incorporated in 1984 to preserve and celebrate the history of the Stockholm area. Stockholm was fortunate to have been the home of Orlin Anderson, now deceased, who was a dedicated amateur historian and archiver of all things related to the area. He was also a dedicated pack-rat and because of that predilection there are probably items and photos in the museum that would otherwise have been long lost. Orlin’s enthusiasm for all things old encouraged others to donate their objects, books, and photos, and it may have been the accumulation of items that inspired insightful residents to create an organization that would preserve and display this wealth of material and memories. Thus was born the Institute. Its visitors come from across the country and around the world. It publishes a regular newsletter for its members, and in the past has been a sponsor of the Heritage Days that Stockholm has hosted. In 2006, the Institute welcomed the 50-member Bjurtjarn Theater Group. This group toured the U.S. performing its play “Off to America – They Sold their Homesteads" (a story about their ancestors who founded Stockholm). After the events and festivities, the theater group donated the rights to the play to the Stockholm Institute. The Institute’s museum building has recently been refurbished and redecorated in an appropriate Swedish palette, with new shelves for books and a large work table available for visitors who wish to review the family histories that have been gathered. A local archivist is also in the process of identifying and organizing the Institute’s wealth of material (some of it retrieved from Orlin’s estate) so that it remains usable to future historians. |

On a widespot on the Great River, in a village that was once nothing more than a widespot in the road, the re-birth of a center for the arts takes place. Once the Stockholm Opera Hall, now the home to the WideSpot Performing Arts Center and Community Project, the 100+ year old space is once again becoming the center piece of the community and a vibrant, creative home for the performing arts of all kinds. Expect the unexpected. One weekend you may find theater and classical music, the next might bring independent film and a gospel "hotdish" brunch, followed by dance, comedy, poetry.... a deep palate of the arts. All of this being expertly choreographed and curated by a staff deeply dedicated to the arts and the power of the arts in building community. The not-for-profit Center will be available for community use during non-performance times and a portion of proceeds will be dedicated to local organizations and charities. Upcoming Events: see the stockholm events listing or www.widespotperformingarts.org for info on upcoming events |
