Alexandria: Viking Lore and Lakes in Douglas County
Alexandria is the county seat of Douglas County in west-central Minnesota, positioned on a chain of lakes that includes Lake Agnes and Lake Le Homme Dieu. The city serves as a tourist hub for the surrounding lake region, which draws cabin owners and vacationers from across the upper Midwest.
The Kensington Runestone, allegedly a 14th-century Norse artifact found on a farm near Alexandria in 1898, is displayed at the Runestone Museum in town. While most historians consider it a hoax, the stone has become a local point of pride and a tourist draw. A giant Viking statue named Big Ole stands outside the museum.
Alexandria's population of about 12,000 serves a regional trade area far larger than its city limits suggest. The economy runs on tourism, healthcare through Alomere Health, and services for the agricultural and lake communities. Interstate 94 passes just south of town.
The Carlos Creek Winery, located outside the city, draws visitors for tastings and outdoor events. The surrounding Douglas County landscape of lakes and rolling hills provides some of the most accessible vacation property in the state.
