How do I get from the airport to Mankato?
If you fly into the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, you’ll want to either rent a car to drive the hour to Mankato, or work with Land-to-Air Express to get transportation to Mankato.
How do I get around Mankato?
The campus is the hub of Mankato, which is a college town. City buses run from campus out to all parts of the city regularly. For more information about the city, go here.
How close is the University to everywhere I’ll need to go?
Nearly everything you’ll need is within walking distance from the campus. The major shopping area, though a few miles away, is easily accessible using the city bus system from campus.
The AmericInn, the more expensive of the two hotels where we’ll hold a block of rooms, is about two blocks from campus, and three from the union, where most events will be held. The Microtel is about five miles from the site.
Do you offer vendor tables at the conference?
Yes, vendor tables are $35. Contact Ariel Johnson, Vending Coordinator, via email at ariel.johnson@mnsu.edu for guidelines and registration form. Vendors are limited only to those whose work directly supports the mission of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association.
