2. Runestone Museum Alexandria Minnesota
The Kensington Runestone is a 202-pound slab of greywacke covered in runes on its face and side. A Swedish immigrant, Olof Ohman, reported that he discovered it in 1898 in the largely rural township of Solem, Douglas County, Minnesota, and named it after the nearest settlement, Kensington. The inscription purports to be a record left behind by Scandinavian explorers in the 14th century . There has been a drawn-out debate on the stone's authenticity, but the scholarly consensus has classified it as a 19th-century hoax since it was first examined in 1910, with some critics directly charging the purported discoverer Ohman with fabricating the inscription. Nevertheless there remains a community convinced of the stone's authenticity.

10. Lake Miltona Alexandria Minnesota
This is a list of lakes of Minnesota. Although promoted as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota has 11,842 lakes of 10 acres or more. The 1968 state survey found 15,291 lake basins, of which 3,257 were dry. If all basins over 2.5 acres were counted, Minnesota would have 21,871 lakes. The prevalence of lakes has generated many repeat names. For example, there are more than 200 Mud Lakes, 150 Long Lakes, and 120 Rice Lakes. All but four Minnesota counties contain at least one natural lake. Minnesota's lakes provide 44,926 miles of shoreline, more than the combined lake and coastal shorelines of California.

Louisiana is filled with some of the most amazing small towns and bigger cities in the country. It can be difficult to know exactly where it’s best to settle down.
But for those who have spent significant amounts of time in the city, there are certainly some places that stand out among the crowd.
Here are the 10 best places to live in Louisiana for 2018:
