New Ulm, the City of "Charm and Tradition," is nestled just 90 miles southwest of the Twin Cities, in the heart of the scenic Minnesota River Valley. New Ulm is becoming known as the "Christmas City" with its many Christmas traditions held each year. We "kick off" our Christmas season with a parade of lights, held the Friday after Thanksgiving. New Ulm has many historic attractions; Hermann Monument, Glockenspiel, Harkin Store, Museum, Wanda Gag Home, John Lind Mansion and Schell's Brewery are just to mention a few.
