Visit Sauk Centre

Main Street Charm welcomes you to Sauk Centre, MN, the boyhood home of Nobel Prize winning author Sinclair Lewis.  Located on Interstate 94 centered between Minneapolis and Fargo, ND, Sauk Centre provides a place to stop halfway in your travels and relax.  Tour Sinclair Lewis's boyhood home and see how this area inspired Lewis to write the novel *Main Street* in 1920. The term Original Main Street was created when the main street in Sauk Centre was recognized on the National Register of Historical Sights.  Visit the Carnegie Library, a renaissance revival style on the National Register of Historic Places which also houses the Sauk Centre Area History Museum and Research Centre. So, after visiting Sinclair Lewis' boyhood home and Museum to learn about the Sauk Centre that Lewis knew, stroll down today's Main Street with its unique shops, restaurants and lodgings.
