Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) Participants will tour the remodeled Minnesota State Capitol and learn about the history and process 2) Tour the historic Cathedral of St. Paul and be treated to a 'behind the scenes' look 3) Tour the James J. Hill House, learn the history of the house, see how a business magnate lived during the early days of Minnesota, and learn about the art displayed in the house.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Unfortunately the Cathedral of St. Paul had to cancel their portion of the tour due to a conflict. Participants did enjoy learning about the history of the MN State Capitol and to see the beautiful renovation. Also learned much about the history of early MN during the tour of the James J. Hill House. All participants rated this program as 'great' or 'very good.' Many were appreciative of the opportunity to participate without having to travel to St. Paul on their own.
