Rocky Roots Walking Tour

Rocky Roots Walking Tour

June 10th, July 8th, and August 12th at 10:00 AM

Tours depart from the Landmark Center Visitor Information Desk located on the first floor

With permission from Ramsey County Historical Society, this tour will explore the geological and architectural uniqueness of downtown St. Paul’s stone buildings. Most of the stone used in these buildings were sourced from quarries outside of the St. Paul area, with many being from the Midwest. Every stone carries an ancient story, and every building – a human creation of imagination and toil. This tour will bring to light a few fragments of these stories, where the stone of the earth came together with human ingenuity in architecture and craft. This tour concentrates on Landmark Center and the surrounding neighborhood.

This tour is limited to 20 participants. Tours are free to attend but advanced registration is required! June tour date reservations will be open as of May 4th. July tour date reservations will be open on June 1st, and August tour date reservations will be open on July 6th. If a tour is full, please contact Emma at espooner@landmarkcenter.org or 651.292.3063 to be added to a waitlist.
