Ellsworth, Wisconsin, is a village in the western part of the state about 30 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. According to the 2000 census, it has about 2,900 residents. Ellsworth is known as the Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin for which there is a festival each June that highlights the products of the Ellsworth Co-op Creamery. There's not a lot happening in Ellsworth, which makes it ideal for a restful holiday. There is no place to stay in Ellsworth, but if you go to nearby Red Wing, Minnesota, about 10 miles away, hotels there abound.
