Mayor Dave Rager's Message
Welcome to the Elysian Web site!!
Elysian is and always has been one of Minnesota’s best kept secrets. This is not something that just happened in the last few years but something that goes back for many years and is the result of some of the friendliest and sincere people in the world.
Spend a day on the lake and an evening dining out or hop on the Sakatah Singing Hills trail, a paved bike trail that goes 39 miles from Mankato to Faribault. If you’re really ambitious you can hook up to the Red Jacket trail in Mankato and bike to Rapidan.
Elysian has one of the best 4th of July celebrations in the country with a parade, music, dances, fireworks and many other activities. We are also lucky to have the Elysian Rookies Triathlon where people from all over the state come to test their skills.
The summers are fun; then they merge into a fall scene where hunting is enjoyed by many and then right into adventures in ice fishing and snowmobiling.
Elysian is home to one of the best historical museums in the state and is located right next door to the Genealogy Center where people come from all over to trace their family tree. Ask them about Klondike Hill where the James gang reportedly camped after the infamous Northfield bank robbery.
This website is sponsored for everyone by the Economic Development Authority.
