Historic Cemetery Walking Tour
Romp through the history of early
Minnesota by visiting five cemeteries that
are the final resting places of the early
settlers. Tour guide Mary-Benton Hummel
wrote a thesis for Hamline University on
the history of St. Paul as seen through its
cemeteries. Discover what cemeteries can
tell us about the history and sociology of
the city from one who knows where the
bodies are buried! Transportation between
locations is on your own. Tour takes place
rain or shine. Wear comfortable shoes and
bring money for lunch.
