St. Paul Gangster Tour

Special to Metromix

There's so much more to St. Paul than you know. It has a seedy past, very seedy. And at the Wabasha Street Caves, they offer many a tour. But there is no tour more thirlling and riddled with historic fodder than the St. Paul Gangster Tour. 

 

Wth the help of your mob member host, you will be able to explore the sites of nightclubs (bar fight!), kidnappings (gasp!) , and gun battles (oh no!) associated with the 1930's gangsters that roamed the Midwest in search of nothing but trouble. You'll hear all about the lives of gangsters  like John Dillinger, Ma Barker, Babyface Nelson and more. You can also see the sights where the gangsters lived it up as they planned and executed some of the most notorious crimes ever perpetrated in our humble Midwest. The guide will take you past the most infamous gangster hideouts and the famous nightclubs where many gangsters spent time socializing with the public.

This is the perfect way to get to know the capital of our state better. We're not as "Minnesota nice" as people may think.
