Minnetrista

Minnetrista’s story stretches back to the 1850s, when the area was included in the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, helping lay the groundwork for what would become the state of Minnesota. Once home to the Dakota people, the land soon welcomed its first European settlers. Today, Minnetrista embraces its rich history while offering peaceful lakeside living, rolling farmland, and a warm sense of community just west of the Twin Cities.
