Have you ever wondered about the buildings and landscape around Washburn Fair Oaks Park? Who built these exquisite looking homes, and why? How has the neighborhood changed over time? Our tour of the Washburn Fair Oaks Historic District will provide these answers and more as you discover how this historic neighborhood has evolved from a center of activity for Minneapolis’ founders and flour mill titans to the crossroads of arts, culture, social services, and multi-cultural neighbors that we have today. The tour begins and ends at Hennepin History Museum, which is part of the tour!
Limit of 20 per tour.
