The small farming village of Almelund is located in Chisago County, Minnesota along MN HWY 95. Almelund, along with the rest of the county, is steeped in a rich history of Swedish settlement that predominantly took place between the 1860s-1910s. The original pioneers and their descendants have left their mark, still plainly visible in the 21st century.
Despite its small size, Almelund is known state-wide for its annual Threshing Show, Apple Festival, and nationally known for the nearby "Hay Days" Snowmobile Drags and Swap Meet. With over 50,000 visitors annually, it is touted as the "largest snowmobile event in the world."
