Residents of Embarrass in northeastern Minnesota take their Finnish heritage seriously. They've banded together to preserve some rare turn-of-the-century Finnish homesteads, and tours of the interesting architectural structures are offered during summer months. Check out the house barn, a building in which the family lived at one end and the cattle at the other. If you're there in June, attend the Finnish Summer Festival. Embarrass is 200 mi/322 km northeast of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
