Minneapolis and St. Paul Travel Guide
The Twin Cities, set on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, initially established themselves in the agricultural business. Waves of Scandinavians and Germans farmed the fertile prairie, then shipped their grain to the cities to be milled and transported to the rest of the nation. These days Minneapolis and St. Paul are more likely associated with arts and culture than farming; they are home to terrific museums and one of the finest and most active theater and fine arts communities in the nation.
