As the community flourished, a number of homes, churches, and public buildings were constructed with outstanding architectural design features. As a result, Faribault is blessed to contain more than 40 individual properties that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Relationship With the City of Wuerzburg, Germany
Mrs. Dorothy Beebe was the motivating force behind relief action for the
City of Wuerzburg, Germany following World War II. She called upon her hometown of Faribault, Minnesota and the town responded. Faribault would eventually adopt the city of Wurzburg in 1949.
The 50th Anniversary of that adoption was celebrated in Wuerzburg on April 28, 1999. The 19 Faribault residents who attended the celebration returned with deep admiration of Wuerzburg, its citizens, and the renewed friendship between the 2 cities. The Faribault delegation also found a new source of pride in their hometown.
