Tucked into the bluffs along Lake Pepin, Stockholm is a small village with a big creative soul. Founded in the mid-1800s by Swedish immigrants, Stockholm still wears its Scandinavian heritage proudly. Today, that history blends seamlessly with an arts-driven, design-forward culture that continues to draw artists, makers, and chefs to this stretch of the Great River Road.
The village center is packed with thoughtfully curated shops, galleries, and studios, each with its own point of view.
Artists flock here for the light, the landscape, and the sense of creative community—and many end up staying longer than planned. With river views, live music, seasonal events, and a welcoming small-town rhythm, Stockholm feels less like a place you visit and more like a place you discover—and want to return to again and again.
