Rocky Roots Walking Tour
July 8, 2026 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Overview
With permission from Ramsey County Historical Society, this tour will explore the geological and architectural uniqueness of downtown St. Paul’s stone buildings. Most of the stone used in these buildings was sourced from quarries outside of the St. Paul area, with many being from the Midwest. Every stone carries an ancient story, and every building – a human creation of imagination and toil. This tour will bring to light a few fragments of these stories, where the stone of the earth came together with human ingenuity in architecture and craft. This tour concentrates on Landmark Center and the surrounding neighborhood.
- Please make sure to arrive and find parking about ten minutes before the tour starts. Tours depart from Landmark Center’s Visitor Information Center located on the first floor by the 5th street entrance.
- Tours are held rain or shine (except in severe weather). The tour groups are limited to 20 participants.
