“Home to narrow county highways, shimmering silos, and open skies.”
Travel & Leisure, October 2018

Explore a nearby nature preserve and wildlife sanctuary. Enjoy camping, golfing and swimming in the summer, or cross-country skiing, curling and skating in the winter. Sample world-class, locally made craft beverages and stay up late to see the Northern Lights with Kittson County Skies.
“In 2010, the Upper Minnesota Valley Regional Development Commission sent surveys to new residents of rural towns in west central Minnesota to find out why they’d moved there. The top five reasons: a desire for a simpler life, safety and security, affordable housing, outdoor recreation, and, for those with children, locating a quality school.
Hallock has all these qualities. But there’s something else about the town that residents cite again and again: the spirit of entrepreneurship.”
