About OwatonnaIndian legend claims that frail, sickly Owatonna, daughter of chief Wabena, was restored to health by the area's minnewaucan, or curative waters. You can take a healing sip from the water fountains in Mineral Springs Park, 1025 Mineral Springs Pkwy., where a white stone statue of the princess stands. Other activities include playing disc golf or just strolling along the park's tree-shaded paths. For city park information phone (507) 444-4321.
