What it’s like
The place. Edgerton is a small city in Pipestone County, in the southwest corner of Minnesota, where nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Household incomes are close to the county's, just a little below, and few residents live below the poverty line. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with banks, insurance and property, manufacturing, and professional and business services also employing many. The largest workplaces in town include Fey Industries, a commercial digital printer, Edgebrook Care Center, a skilled nursing facility, and the Edgerton Public School District. Commutes are short, and some people work from home.
Things to do. Chanarambie Creek runs in or beside town, a convenient spot for a walk along the water. A longer drive away are Pipestone National Monument, an archaeological site, and Blue Mounds State Park, a protected area.
