With a spectacular view of Lake Pepin, Stockholm offers just the right blend of boutique shopping, fine dining, and quality lodging. Antique shops, art galleries, Amish quilts and furniture, a pair of terrific cafes, a vineyard, an orchard - even a pie company – are all part of Stockholm’s endearing charm. Downriver, the village of Pepin also graces the north shore of Lake Pepin. A natural dam below the town created this strikingly wide expanse of the Mississippi River popular with boaters of all stripes. Pepin is famous as the hometown of “Little House in the Big Woods” author Laura Ingalls Wilder, who was born on a farm near here in 1867. The Wilder Museum honors the author’s legacy as well as the city’s history. A replica of the now-famous “little house” can be seen in a small wayside park north of Pepin on Cty. CC.
