Uniquely Saint Paul
Explore Our Projects
During the summer, 2008, the Rotary Club of Saint Paul created "Uniquely Saint Paul", a self-guided walking tour in celebration our 21st Century River City's most distinctive qualities. We worked closely with the City of Saint Paul. Please download the colorful map/brochure and enjoy a leisurely walk yourself -- or stop along so that you can take or schedule special tours of some of the buildings you'll be visiting.
Ten reasons to take a walk through downtown Saint Paul.
- Because you want to support Saint Paul Rotary, Club #10.
- You've always wondered why "Rice Park" was named "Rice Park".
- You had NO idea that Saint Paul commemorates Herb Brooks with a bronze "bigger than lifesize" statue-much like the man himself.
- You've said to yourself, "I wonder what the oldest athletic organization in Minnesota is, hmmmm."
- You didn't realize that the heating and cooling system used for our downtown buildings is considered a national model, using wood waste as a primary fuel.
- You always thought that mazes were for old English country castles. Saint Paul has one here in our Big Back Yard.
- You'd like to see where Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Kline, Tommy Lee Jones and Garrison Keillor made the 2006 film, "A Prairie Home Companion".
- There's just something about a perfect ham and cheese omelet.
- You always thought Saint Paul was a "law 'n' order" town; so who was Ma Barker and what was the Landmark Center used for?
- When Charles Schulz stopped penning his Peanuts gang, you thought you'd lost your best friends.
