Discover Braham, Minnesota — and Travel in Comfort with PromptCharters

When travelers think of Minnesota, they often imagine the Twin Cities, the North Shore, or the Boundary Waters. But tucked in east-central Minnesota is a small gem: Braham, known affectionately as Minnesota’s “Pie Capital.” For groups looking for a quieter but charming destination, Braham offers a unique combination of small-town appeal, local events, and easy access to natural and cultural attractions nearby.

What to See & Do Around Braham

While Braham is small (population around 1,700) , it punches above its weight in charm, events, and nearby day-trip potential. Here are some highlights you won’t want to miss:

1. Braham Pie Day

Held the first Friday in August, Pie Day celebrates the town’s claim to fame: homemade pie. The day features craft vendors, music, a car show, pie baking & eating contests, and more — all centered around serving over 1,100 pies to visitors.  It’s a perfect occasion for a charter tour, giving groups a fun, festive day of community spirit and delicious treats.

2. Wiese Auditorium & The Listening Room at KBEK

For lovers of live performance and the arts, the Wiese Auditorium hosts community events, concerts, and theatrical productions.  Nearby, The Listening Room at KBEK (a local public radio station venue) showcases musical acts and intimate performances that bring in local and regional talent.

3. Braham Lanes & Wayne’s Pro Shop

Looking for some recreational downtime? Head to Braham Lanes & Wayne’s Pro Shop for bowling fun. It’s a great stop for groups wanting relaxed indoor entertainment.

4. Tusen Tack Thrift & Local Shops

Explore local flair at the Tusen Tack thrift store — a quirky, treasure-hunting kind of place where you’ll find eclectic pieces, vintage finds, and local character.  Also stroll through downtown Braham’s small shops, cafés, and bakeries — sampling local goods and soaking in the town’s friendly atmosphere.

5. Swedish Mission Church of South Maple Ridge

Just outside of Braham in Maple Ridge Township is the historic Svenska Mission Kyrka I Södre Maple Ridge (also known as the Swedish Mission Church of South Maple Ridge). Built in 1897 and constructed in Gothic Revival style, this little church is on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s a quiet, evocative stop for groups interested in local heritage and history.

6. Nearby Outdoor & Regional Attractions

If your itinerary allows for a broader radius, Braham is within reach of several appealing natural and recreational sites:

  • Wild Mountain Ski Resort — In winter, hit the slopes just a drive away.

  • Mille Lacs Lake — A major fishing, boating, and lake destination in central Minnesota.

  • Cambridge City Park & Watertower Park — For a relaxing stroll or picnic, nearby Cambridge offers pleasant park settings.
