In "Enterprising Minnesotans" we read stories of the creative, bold, and diverse men and women throughout Minnesota's history who have built exceptional businesses. Here are portraits of people driven by an entrepreneurial spirit to found enterprises from 1849 to the present, including Cargill, the Mayo Clinic, Andersen Windows, Ecolab, Schwan's, and Leeann Chin Inc. On the news and in our neighborhoods, companies from 3M to Digital River contribute both culturally and economically to life in Minnesota.
