Rocky Roots Walking Tour

Description

Historian and author Paul Nelson will lead a one-hour walking tour to discover the geologic “rocky roots” of downtown Saint Paul. The tour will look at the stones that form Landmark Center, the Central Library, the former Qwest telephone building, and St. Paul City Hall/Ramsey County Courthouse. The tour will also look at formations of Platteville limestone, Morton gneiss and Lake Superior sandstone that are part of downtown structures. The tour will meet and will end up back at Landmark Center.

Portions of the tour will be outside  – please wear walking shoes and dress for the weather. We will also go into the St. Paul City Hall/Ramsey County Courthouse, and will be going through security. Please be aware of this, and leave items at home that may be confiscated.
