Owatonna is located at the crossroads of Highways U.S. 14, U.S. 218 and Interstate 35. At this location, according to the legend, Chief Wabena heard of the curing waters called minnewaucan. Princess Owatonna drank from the springs daily and she recovered her health. Her statue stands in Mineral Springs Park today, overlooking the bubbling water. Weary travelers, parents and children often stop to drink from the fountains.
