1 Place In Minnesota Makes List Of Most Picturesque Small Towns In America

A list was put together of the most picturesque small towns in America. 120 towns across the US made the list, and Minnesota is represented just once. How can that be? Minnesota has a ton of really cool small towns. Which states had more?

I think the list may be a little biased, as most of the towns are on the East Coast. Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and the entire New England region have the most.

NC Travel Guides put the list together after they compared 500 small towns. They looked at the following categories: search trends, popularity with photographers, and popularity of photography with the general public.

Which small town was named the most picturesque in America?

Texas had 15 of the most picturesque small towns in America. Fredericksburg, Texas was number one on the list. I've actually been to Fredricksburg. Last year we went to Texas to visit relatives, and Fredricksburg is home to the National Museum Of The Pacific War. That's because US Admiral Chester Nimitz was born there. Really? A famous Navy admiral was born in the middle of Texas?
