I found this kind of intresting that the exact Geographic Center of Minnesota is a point in Crow Wing County, 10 miles SW of Brainerd, MN.

It would be fun to drive there sometime just to get it off the bucket list

Also, something which Id not known about, a southern Minnesota County named Martin County, the exact geographic center of it is a town called
Welcome, Minnestoa.

And the center of Hennipen County in theory, is a point in Plymouth, MN. west of Medicine Lake about 1 mile SW of intersection of Hwy. 494, and 55.
