About Jeffers

Jeffers is a quiet, tight-knit town in southwestern Minnesota's Cottonwood County, surrounded by open prairie and fertile farmland. Founded as a railroad stop in the late 1890s, it has settled into a peaceful, easygoing community where neighbors know each other and life moves at a comfortable pace. State Highway 30 and nearby U.S. Route 71 make getting around straightforward, giving residents a simple drive to larger neighboring hubs like Windom for everyday shopping, healthcare, and services.

Jeffers New Vision Co Op

Outside of town lies one of the region's most famous landmarks, the Jeffers Petroglyphs, where thousands of ancient Native American rock carvings are etched into red quartzite outcroppings. The surrounding prairie and wide-open skies make the area an appealing spot for anyone drawn to rural quiet and open space. Day to day, Jeffers offers affordable small-town living, starry night skies, and a calm, friendly atmosphere rooted in classic rural Midwestern charm.
