Rich in history
and community pride, La Crescent, the “Apple Capital of Minnesota” is
home to over 5,000 residents. Beautiful bluffs and the mighty
Mississippi River dominate the landscape, providing breathtaking views
and a thriving wildlife population. The apple orchards and fall colors
are not to be missed.
Centered around the La
Crescent-Hokah School District, the families of La Crescent have access
to wonderful educational and athletic facilities. An abundance of parks,
a popular aquatic center and many community-based programs keep
residents busy and active. Every September, citizens of La Crescent join
together to celebrate Applefest with a parade, performances and
family-friendly events.
Just a few short miles from the
heart of La Crosse, Wisconsin, La Crescent offers a small-town feel with
the conveniences of city life. A handful of thriving local businesses
provide dining and shopping options. Community leaders and city
personnel have dedicated themselves to making La Crescent a safe and
welcoming place to live or visit.
