Gilded Age Walking Tour

Religion and riches and mansions…oh my!

Dominating the skyline, the majestic Cathedral of Saint Paul stands proudly as gateway to the city’s most scenic and historic neighborhood. Here the Victorian era’s movers and shakers, immigrants and servants, and priests and industrialists created a slice of St. Paul which defined the golden age. It includes stately mansions along Summit Avenue, where it was fashionable to see and to be seen, as well as green spaces, Mississippi River overlooks, and repurposed historic buildings with secret tales to tell. Learn the stories of James J. Hill, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Cass Gilbert, Ma Barker, and more famous, wealthy, and notorious figures from our capital city’s colorful past.

Bus pickup is at the Minneapolis Convention Center.  Once you arrive in St. Paul, you will enjoy the tour via walking.
