Often called one of the country's most livable cities, Rochester is a company town built around the world famous Mayo Clinic. Founded in 1914, the clinic's buildings still dominate the city skyline. You can tour the research facilities and take the architectural/art tour of the clinic. Mayowood, the estate of Dr. Charles W. Mayo, contains a collection of treasures from all over the world. The home of Dr. Henry Plummer, another of the clinic's founders, is also open for tours on a limited basis; the beautiful gardens surrounding his estate are open to the public every day.
You can also tour the impressive Assisi Heights Convent overlooking the city on the northside. Designed to resemble the Basilica of St. Francis in Italy, it offers extraordinary marble interiors. Also of note is the Soliders Field Veterans Memorial.
