About Darwin

Darwin is a quiet, tight-knit town in central Minnesota, located along Highway 12 about an hour west of Minneapolis. With around 350 residents, it has a classic rural feel with wide-open farmland and nearby fishing lakes just outside your door. You get the peace of small-town living while staying only minutes from grocery stores and schools in neighboring Dassel and Litchfield. The town is famous for housing the world's largest ball of twine built by one person, which brings the whole community together every August for the annual Twine Ball Day celebration.
