St. Stephen, MN

St. Stephen is a farming town of 700 people in central Minnesota, about 20 miles west of St. Cloud via Highway 23. The town sits in the Sauk River valley with typical lake country scenery of fields, woodlots, and farmsteads. Most visitors pass through on county roads connecting to I-94, though locals mainly commute to St. Cloud for work. The historic grain elevators along the old Great Northern Railway line still define the town's agricultural character.
