Le Sueur, Minnesota: Green Giant Sign

Green Giant Sign

Pretty lame. The giant here is just a small, 2D cutout, with a historical market interpretive sign next to it. Thats it.

The town once displayed several old large Green Giant signs, formerly at the Minnesota Valley Canning Company (which became Green Giant) canning plant, part of the collection of the local museum. The museum closed in 2018. This Giant appears to be a lone survivor.
