Marshall, MN is a great smaller town, about 12,000 people. There are some pretty nice smaller towns around that area that are between 200-5000 or so too.

New Ulm Mn is very nice .. about 15,000 pop
Try littler towns like Gibbon Mn under a 1000 .. getting about 50 miles out from the bigger towns like Mankato and such gives some awesome places to live ..
