Located on the State Capital grounds, this memorial honors Minnesotans who served in the Vietnam War. More than 1000 names are engraved in the granite memorial. These are the Americans who were either killed or missing in action as a result of the war. Pay your respects by visiting this memorial site honoring those who gave their lives in service for their country. There is a book of names nearby which gives the location of each name on the monument. The location is a little hidden, so look for the monument close to the freeway and in the center of the grounds. Parking is available on the street or in lots not designated for state business.

Come summer, head to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds to catch all the fun at the Minnesota State Fair. Location of one of the biggest and oldest fairs in the U.S., the Fairgrounds have emerged as a tourist destination in their own right. Spread over 320 acres, the grounds contain several old and modern structures to host the different events of the Fair. The Lee and Rose Warner Coliseum hosts most of the livestock shows. The exciting annual milk run starts and finishes at the Fairgrounds every year. Minnesota State Fair Grandstand is one of the relatively modern additions which has held some of the best concerts at the fair.
