Summer evenings are a wonderful time to stroll through the grounds of Lakewood. Take in the beautiful gardens and long vistas while you learn a bit of fun, local history.
On the Early Minneapolis Leaders walking tour, youll learn about the citys early history through the stories of Minneapoliss earlier influencers. Featuring Governor and miller John S. Pillsbury, early settler John H. Stevens, Park Board President Charles Loring, entrepreneur and adventurer George Brackettt, and more.
