The Best Landmarks in St Paul

We enjoy visiting the Ramsey House at Christmas. The home is furnished with actual Ramsey family possessions so at Christmas you can see the family's decorations and ornaments on the tree. The home is lovely but not so big that it is overwhelming. The guides are dressed in period costumes and stay in character for whom they are portraying. There is usually one or two servants cooking in the original kitchen and it smells so wonderful.

Amazing historical beautiful house and tour, on a very pretty historical street of St. Paul. The tour here is so interesting! Definitely a must see in Minnesota. I've taken tours through the Historical Society...and they are so awesome. If you can, take the Nooks and Crannies tour ...it is so interesting! It goes beyond the regular historical architectual tour...and explores the back staircases, dust chutes, silver vault , the top-floor attic with original theater, taking the back stairs to the basement, viewing the coal storage area...oh gate house overlooking Summit Avenue is interesting, too. The interior of mansion has some special features that are very unique.

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon on a day off. Such an impressive, gorgeous building and grounds. We are free to walk through it on our own or take a guided tour with a docent. The tours are hourly and the docent tour makes the experience very interesting and educational. I learned so much on the tour. I guess my only complaint is that I wish it was longer..,I wanna hear more.. as you can tell I really enjoyed it, since I love architectural,art and history...if you do, too you wouldn't want to miss this. If you are a photographer (or a wannabe amateur like I am) you can get awesome shots of the cathedral and the city of St Paul, too from the capitol. This is definitely worth see.
