Charming Stillwater, MN, Tour with Private Transportation

Charming Stillwater, MN, Tour with Private Transportation

Overview

Our private riding tour begins on the outskirts of historic Stillwater, MN and winds among the steep river bluffs of an 1800s village filled with the grand Victorian homes built by past lumber barons and luminaries. You'll see exquisitely restored Queen Anne mansions as well as other styles of architecture, and hear about the colorful owners of these homes. Our history-filled adventure will explain why Stillwater is known as the "Birthplace of Minnesota, " and also brings-to-life the rollicking world of lumberjacks who flocked to the pristine St. Croix River area in the 1800s.

Our tour concludes with a walk down Stillwater's quaint Main Street of shops and restaurants, plus a visit to a famous candy store for treats (purchased on own).

NOTE:
- Private transportation to and from the Twin Cities metro area is available. Please inquire.
- Tour does not include home or building interiors.

What To Expect

Stillwater

This 2-hour tour of Stillwater occurs in two parts - first riding, then walking. The riding tour includes views of beautiful Victorian mansions that are preserved as family homes for today and stunning views of the St. Croix River valley. The walking portion of the tour includes a quick overview of Main Street shopping, plus a stop at Candyland, the local's favorite candy store for popcorn or sweets (purchased on own).

Washington County Historic Courthouse

A view of the famous Courthouse is the backdrop for stories about how Stillwater became the "Birthplace of Minnesota."

Teddy Bear Park

A popular city park designed exclusively for young children greets us as our drive winds down from the river bluffs and into downtown Stillwater.

Lowell Park

A grassy expanse hugs the western bank of the St. Croix River in the heart of downtown Stillwater, home to city festivals, entertainment and recreation.

A 1930s mechanical lift bridge is the signature feature of downtown Stillwater. Still operating over the St. Croix River, the bridge has been transformed from its work-a-day early years for vehicle traffic into a recreational destination for walking and biking.
