Welcome, MN

With around 700 residents, Welcome is a quiet Martin County community set among the farm fields of southern Minnesota. Originally founded in the late 1800s as Lily Creek, the town was soon renamed after an early homesteader, Alfred M. Welcome. Today, it offers a classic small-town setting where neighbors know each other and life moves at an easy, relaxed pace.

Location is one of the town's biggest perks. Welcome sits right along Interstate 90, making it an easy eight-mile drive east to Fairmont for grocery stores, medical clinics, dining, and schools. Sherburn is just a few minutes to the west. It is a practical spot for anyone looking for affordable housing and a peaceful home base while keeping regional jobs and daily necessities within a short drive.
