Enjoy a little staycation here in St Paul!

Step back in time with a walking tour of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Saint Paul. On this 90-minute tour you'll see houses and buildings associated with the writer's life in Saint Paul. You'll see Fitzgerald's birthplace, where he went to school, and the house where he finished writing his first novel, This Side of Paradise. The tour is led by Fitzgerald expert Mark Taylor. He has worked for MNHS, lectured on Fitzgerald, and has given more than 60 Fitzgerald walking tours.

Then check into one of Minnesota's more historic and luxurious hotels, The Saint Paul Hotel. Experience the trademark style, sophistication and comfort with a one-night stay in a Deluxe King room. Whatever your need, The Saint Paul Hotel will meet it with grace, warmth and class.

Finish off your evening with two tickets to The Saint Paul Hotel's performance of It's a Wonderful Life. Premium dinner for two included. This performance comes to life as a live 1940s radio drama, complete with an onstage sound effects master. George Bailey's story remains as heartwarming as ever, as he is shown how his life touched so many other lives. This show sells out annually and some 2023 performances are already sold out!

Top off your staycation with a $100 gift certificate to The Lexington restaurant. The Lexington has been serving the city of Saint Paul and the greater metro area for over 75 years, establishing a rich history as a place of celebration, family, and community.

This package includes a copy of The Mississippi and St Paul, a book by RCHS.
