Come here to find YOUR true Winona.
Winona is so proud to have hosted its namesake actress for a visit and we are beyond excited to be making our debut on the grandest stage of all - a Super Bowl commercial. Stranger things have probably not happened here, and we’re in.
We like pictures too…
And while we love the gritty, authentic viewpoint of the photos produced by our beloved star, we want to share a few more with you.
Winona is like a diamond with hundreds of brilliant facets, and the True Winona is a lot of things. We’re going to show you the rest of the story about this beautiful, historic, slightly legendary city on the Mississippi River.
Cradled by towering bluffs and the Mississippi River in southeastern Minnesota, Winona is technically an island.
More than 100 individual properties and 13 whole blocks of Winona’s downtown are enshrined on the National Historic Register. We have been a bustling river city for 150 years.
Winona comes from the Dakota Indian word Wenonah, which means first-born daughter.
Music abounds in Winona at festivals and events for every taste. Even Yo-Yo Ma has performed in Winona.
