Hadley Minnesota Community Guide

Location:

Situated along MN State Hwy 30 in Murray County, our community offers a great quality of life. Summit Lake welcomes guests to the city as one enters from the South off Minnesota State Highway 30. Hadley's citizens enjoy a great rural lifestyle where everyone helps one another, they get together for community events, and enjoy the peace of rural living. Hadley's location offers a great rural life with additional opportunities for shopping and entertainment near by. Hadley is just five miles West of Slayton, MN and 22 miles East of Pipestone, MN. Proximity to regional hubs like Marshall, MN, Worthington, MN, and Sioux Falls, SD can be reached in drives of approximately one hour. The economy is largely agriculture based with many families producing grain crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat. In addition, the ag economy is bolstered by livestock operations and wind energy production. Each summer the community celebrates America's pastime by supporting the local amateur league baseball team, The Buttermakers. The baseball field serves as a community gathering place for friends and family.
