Midwest Living 2026 Best of the Midwest Small Communities: Lindsborg
Lindsborg: One of Midwest Living's Best Small Towns of 2026!
As reported by Midwest Living, Lindsborg holds "the promise of a slower pace, room to breathe, historic architecture, walkable streets, friendly people, and authentic experiences." Lindsborg is included in this carefully curated list of 12 small towns based upon editors' reporting trips and diverse visitor experiences.
The article mentions Lindsborg's Wild Dala Herd, public art, and Swedish inspired menus and crafts, as well as Lindsborg's Midsummers Festival and Christmas quaintness. But, as many who come to visit Lindsborg know, these few things are just the tip of the iceberg as to all that Lindsborg holds. Other reasons to visit Lindsborg include the Lindsborg Old Mill & Swedish Heritage Museum which showcases the history of the Smoky Valley and the only operating mill in the Midwest; the Välkommen Trail that gives a wide walking or biking path throughout town in 4.3 mile and connects to the Meadowlark Trail for more walking or biking miles; and the vibrant business district on red brick streets!
But then, don't forget Coronado Heights! And the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery! And the Red Barn Studio Museum! The list continues...
Plan a trip and discover all you can. Then schedule that return trip that will require a weekend (or more) to absorb all that Lindsborg offers in this walkable, breathable, stretchable, creative community.
