Off the beaten freeway path between Mpls/St. Paul and Duluth, Mn. just a couple miles off interstate 35, is a very unique place to shop.
Lena's has become a staple place for the locals and many a traveler. Besides the gift and coffee, they also serve light lunches. Look around while you are waiting and see the various antiques that were common to the area during the early logging and farming days.
Lena's is in the middle of restoring the integrity of the old building. The major work is done with some of the fine tuning left. Lena's gifts are main streamed for the Scandinavian heritage. But, they also do a lot with and for the local population also.
The green house which is being shut down for the season has been very popular with the locals and cabin dwellers as well. Askov is a very small town with that small town feel. It is not uncommon to have two people walk across the street and stop in the middle and greet each other. Then have a car pull up and wait until they are finished and not even honk a horn!
On this day, a local liquid refreshment establishment was having an Octoberfest celebration. This elderly gentleman brought in his team of horses and hay wagon and gave free rides to all.
Askov is a great place to visit and relax. Come and see us!
