Welcome to Longfellow
Established in the 1880s, Longfellow borrows its name from American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose work “The Song of Hiawatha” made Minnehaha Falls famous worldwide. Today, the neighborhood is a shopping hot spot rich in natural spaces. The area offers an eclectic mix of coffee shops, pubs and entertainment.
