North End
Saint Paul's North End is home to the illustrious Minnesota State Capitol—plus, some pretty cool trails and historic sites.
The North End's rich history dates back to the early 1900s, when many European immigrants moved to the Eastern neighborhoods of Saint Paul. While the glorious Minnesota State Capitol Building is an obvious must-see (especially after its incredible restoration), history buffs can also geek out at the Oakland Cemetery—prominent Minnesota politicians such Henry Sibley, William Marshall and Alexander Ramsey are buried here. The North End also marks the start of the Gateway Trail, an 18-mile route connecting Saint Paul to the charming riverfront city of Stillwater, Minnesota.
