About Wheaton

Wheaton is a quiet, friendly town set along the Mustinka River in west-central Minnesota. As the seat of Traverse County, it has a solid lineup of local services, healthcare, and county offices that make daily routines easy for a town of about 1,400 people. The streets are calm and walkable, with the handsome 1890s brick courthouse standing right in the center of town as a reminder of Wheaton's long history and local pride.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate having Lake Traverse just a short drive away for fishing and boating, along with great spots across the county for waterfowl hunting. It is a peaceful, practical place for anyone looking to slow down and settle into small-town life.
