At the heart of the community is its historic 1911 courthouse, a stately landmark on the square that replaced the original building after a fierce county-seat rivalry in the early 1900s. Today, Red Lake Falls appeals to newcomers looking for affordable housing, safe neighborhoods, and outdoor recreation right out the back door.
