Marshall is a charming and secluded small city in southwestern Minnesota. The city is best known as the home of Southwest Minnesota State University, whose campus on the northeast side of town serves around 4,000 students and employs hundreds of locals as faculty and staff members. On the east side of campus, Red Baron Arena is the city’s most active events center, hosting everything from ice hockey to trade shows throughout the year.
Downtown Marshall features a thriving collective of restaurants, specialty shops, bars, and other storefront businesses occupying the historic buildings along Main Street: Grab you morning coffee at Daily Grind, head down to Wooden Nickel for a burger at lunchtime, or cap of the evening with a cocktail at The Gambler.
