Together "Twin Cities" Minneapolis and state capital, St. Paul, paint a very urban picture that lacks not for cultural color nor pleasant parks with proximity to river, wilderness and Amish country for extra polish.
See early mine trucks, climb into the cab of a 1907 steam locomotive and a 1910 steam shovel or walk down into a simulated underground mine drift.

Railroad diorama by F. Lee Jaques. Authentic Finnish sauna. Self guided tours. Guided group tours, pre- and post-season group visits by appointment.
