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.
