Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will learn about the history, architecture, laws and more at the Cathedral of St. Paul, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. They will finish the day with a look at some of the seedy history of Minnesota and its gangsters of the past with the St. Paul Gangster Tour.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendee Comments include:" Learned much about St. Paul history including police, prohibition, and the establishment of the FBI", "I had no idea about the St. Paul gangster history - fascinating. Enjoyed the cathedral but would have appreciated a flyer with info. The structure is phenomenal. Just getting to the cities is a big deal for me!" "This is money well spent on art, culture and historical experiences,"
