What it’s like
The place. Lamberton is a very small city in Redwood County, Minnesota, where most homes are lived in by their owners and typical home values are modest. Household incomes run below the county's, and winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and July the warmest. Summers are warm, and precipitation is spread through the year as both rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with manufacturing, shops, and banks, insurance and property also employing many people. The largest workplaces in town include the RED Rock Central School District, Superior Healthcare and Meadowland Farmers Coop - Lamberton. Commutes are short, and a fair number of people work from home. Across Redwood County, unemployment is higher than a year ago and there are slightly fewer jobs than the year before.
Things to do. Dutch Charley Creek and Highwater Creek run in or beside town, and Hurricane Lake, a lake, is a short drive away. For a longer outing, Lake Shetek State Park, a protected area, and the Jeffers Petroglyphs, an archaeological site, are both a longer drive away.
