This information about Mansfield, Minnesota comes from Rhona Pieczka, who visited in 2002 as part of a tour of several Mansfields.
"Our long standing friends their Jack & Lynn had told us that they had found Mansfield Minnesota, and again would be happy to accompany us on a visit there. This time the drive was only fifty minutes from where we stayed at Faribault.
We arrived at the Mansfield Store, the centre of the community of Mansfield Minnesota, the population a total of twenty seven. We met Curt Olson.
His family have run the store in Mansfield for over fifty years; again I presented him with a copy of our Mansfield Guide, together with a Commemorative Golden Jubilee Medallion."

I am currently sitting in Mansfield, Minnesota USA at the "hub" of activities, the "Mansfield Store."
Mansfield is not an incorporated village, but simply the intersection of 2 roads where a few houses and businesses have been over the years.
Currently the Mansfield Store is a farm (agriculture) service center, which provides seed, fertilizers, crop chemicals, and custom application services, along with LP gas. It employs 6 to 8 full time people and also seasonal help. The owner is Curt Olson and his father was the person who started the business.
Mansfield Meats is a meat processing facility that butchers, processes and packages meat for its customers. It is a family owned business with about 3 full time employees and some part time help. Ralph Thiner is the owner.
Mansfield Meats is in the building that used to be the creamery and there also used to be a automotive repair and gasoline station here.
There is an active congregation at Mansfield Lutheran Church which has a website at www.manited.net
There are 7 houses in Mansfield and the countryside around is agricultural, raising corn, soybeans, and significant numbers of hogs.
I live 2.5 miles west of here and am active at the Lutheran church.
