Reads Landing, Minnesota

History

Reads Landing was platted in 1856. Around 1878, the community had various commercial and transportation buildings, but later those businesses moved to Wabasha. The post office began in 1850 and still operates today. At one time, Reads Landing was considered a possible site for the Minnesota state capital.

The community contains one property listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the 1870 Reads Landing School. The school building now houses the Wabasha County Historical Society Museum.
