Historic Hastings is set along the rugged and colorful scenery of the Mississippi, St. Croix and Vermillion Rivers.  Hastings is a scenic river town with a rich heritage.  Hastings has grown and changed to meet the needs of its population without forgetting its past.

Reminders of the city’s history abound, with the rushing rivers, the tall stately trees and the historic downtown buildings that remind us of days gone by. Hastings is a place to live, explore, embrace history, venture back in time, slow down and enjoy all while enjoying the recently updated business district and river center.

The city is finished its 3rd phase of the “Riverfront Renaissance” project that includes updated Main Street, the adjacent amphitheater/pavilion for summer concerts (located one block off of Main Street) and the very popular 15 mile bike trail loop that goes from the riverfront to the dam.
