About Brewster
Brewster is a quiet, close-knit town in southwestern Minnesota's Nobles County, home to around 500 people. Founded in 1872 as Hersey, it was the first railroad community in the county, springing up to serve the surrounding farmland along the tracks. Today, it retains that classic rural charm, surrounded by open farm country while sitting just a ten-minute drive northeast of Worthington.
Life here moves at a relaxed, neighborly pace. With Highway 60 running right past town, residents enjoy an easy commute to regional jobs, dining, and healthcare in Worthington while coming home to calm streets and wide-open prairie skies. The community's original name still lives on in surrounding Hersey Township, preserving a proud link to the area's earliest farming roots.
