Set In Stone: Exploring St. Paul's Oldest Neighborhood

Minnesota Experience – Season 2

Mary Lahammer leads us on a tour of the oldest neighborhood in the Twin Cities: the Uppertown and Irvine Park area of St. Paul. We explore how early builders used limestone mined nearby to create distinctive homes and businesses. Many of the structures date from before the Civil War. We watch as some of St. Paul's oldest buildings are being lovingly restored.
