What will be your reason for buying Hutchinson MN home? Will it be the convenient location? Hutchinson MN is only 76 miles from Minneapolis, and just an hour away from St. Cloud. Hutchinson’s central Minnesota location along Minnesota Highways 15, 7, and 22 make the city a regional retail hub and a easy getaway spot for residents of Meeker, Wright, McLeod, and surrounding counties. However, with all of the amenities this town of 14,000 residents have to offer, you might have many reasons to stay close to home. The community enjoys an active social life, wonderful parks, and great shopping. Many people relocate to this community because of the friendly atmosphere and the charm of this city. There is a state-of-the-art library in town that is over 100 years old. You might want to see a film at the multi-screen, fully restored, classic style movie theater.
Perhaps it’s the local economy. Minneapolis – St Paul Magazine cited Hutchinson MN as one of the nations top 50 great cities with great jobs. The retail sector is especially strong in Hutchinson. Large discount stores like Shopko, Runnings Farm & Fleet, and Walmart Super Center attract shoppers from surrounding towns. Weekend pilgrimages to the Hutchinson Mall are the norm. There are also plenty of antique stores and specialty shops to be found here. In addition to the retail sector, other major employers include hi-tech manufacturers like Hutchinson Technology and 3M. The Goebel Fixture Company is also a significant employer, and manufactures cabinetry and other fixtures for department stores.

The citizens are very vigilant about preserving their rich heritage and history. A statue of Chief Little Crow overlooks the Crow River near the east end of downtown. Chief Little Crow was shot by a farmer just north and west of Hutchinson. The expenses of the Civil War caused the federal government to default on promised payments for land purchases, sparking the Sioux Uprising of 1862. Chief Little Crow played a prominent part in this struggle.
