• View the Landmark Center (website: www.landmarkcenter.org), which houses the Minnesota Museum of American Art (website: www.mmaa.org), once the Federal Court House. Its distinguished history includes the trials of several famous 1930s gangsters such as John Dillinger and ‘Machine Gun' Kelly. Take the Gangster Tour to visit well known haunts.

• See the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park (website: www.mnhs.org/places/sites/srl). It preserves one of the most scenic lighthouses in the USA, built after 29 ships carrying iron ore on Lake Superior were shipwrecked in a single storm in 1905.

• Stop by the Mississippi River Visitor Center a collaboration between the National Park Service and the Science Museum. The Great River Road that runs south from the Twin Cities to the Iowa border offers magnificent views of the river and the many bird species, including the American Bald Eagle that migrate along this route.
