Welcome to Princeton! We have great food, fun family activities and comfortable lodging all on a historical foundation.

Princeton is a community that embraces its rich and full history, yet seeks growth opportunities. The city is located on the scenic Rum River, just 50 miles north of the Twin Cities metro area at the intersection of Highways 169 and 95.

The main downtown business area of Princeton has many unique local businesses, including a shoe and clothing store, book store, rock collection store, and seasonal ice cream shop. There are several restaurants and a coffee shop as well.

Princeton has many conveniences found in a larger city but offered with a small-town charm.

We offer amenities such as a great hospital and multiple senior living and care facilities, a grocery store, video store, thrift shops, car washes, insurance agents, realtors, dentists, a municipal liquor store, nail and hair salons, a flower shop, eye clinics, chiropractors, attorneys, and an incredible school system.
