Several leading manufacturers call Red Wing home, especially Red Wing Shoes, whose flagship store holds the world’s largest boot. “Red Wing Shoes is the biggest manufacturer in town,” says Lynn Nardinger, deputy director of public services for the city of Red Wing. “3M and BIC are also big here, but we are a very active, civic-minded community."
Red Wing's proximately to the Mississippi is greatly tied to the town's history.
