MEET THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER REGION

The headwaters of the Mississippi River are found in northern Minnesota, in Itasca State Park. This beautiful park is wondrous in the summer but pretty darned nice all year 'round, and well worth a trip to northern Minnesota!  

The beautiful video above was prepared by Beth Baransky of LWV Jo Daviess County (IL) for the first meeting of LWV UMRR in 2015.  Many thanks to Beth for all her work to protect, preserve and enhance the Mississippi River and our democracy.
