Fergus Falls: Lake Country Seat in Otter Tail County
Fergus Falls is the county seat of Otter Tail County in west-central Minnesota, surrounded by more lakes than almost any other county in the state. Otter Tail County contains over 1,000 lakes, and Fergus Falls sits among several of them along the Otter Tail River.
The Kirkbride Plan asylum, built in 1890, is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in rural Minnesota. The massive Romanesque Revival structure served as a state hospital until 2005 and has been the subject of preservation debates since its closure.
Fergus Falls' economy depends on manufacturing, healthcare, and services for the surrounding agricultural and lake communities. The population of about 13,300 is stable. Downtown Fergus Falls along Lincoln Avenue has seen revitalization with new restaurants and shops. The river walk along the Otter Tail provides a pedestrian corridor through town.
The Center for the Arts, housed in a renovated downtown building, offers gallery space and performances. The Otter Tail County Historical Society maintains a museum near the courthouse.
Pebble Lake and the surrounding parkland provide swimming, boating, and picnicking on the edge of town. The lake is one of the most accessible recreational water bodies in the community.
