A colorful walking tour led by the inimitable know-it-all, Sr. Celeste. Learn how St. Paul went from its reputation as a Dead Tough Town to being the historically vital Capitol City it is today.
A tour featuring inside stories and lore, as told by one of the citys earliest residents! Sr. Celeste explains what was and is and shall be as she wends her way from the beautiful Celeste of St. Paul: Hotel + Bar (her former convent home and the state's first Fine Arts Conservatory) and along the length of St. Peter Street. The tour ends at the Hotel Bar where you are invited to enjoy a cozy drink near the fireplace. Includes a select beverage and a chance to win a glow-in-the-dark rosary with Sister Celeste's quiz afterwards!
Notable sites include views of the Capitol and Cathedral, Mickeys Diner, landmark Churches, gangster hang-outs and more!
