In the early 1880s, the University of Minnesota gave up on its plans for an agricultural school near its Minneapolis campus. With the purchase of a farm at Larpenteur and Cleveland, the University’s St. Paul campus got its start. Over the next 140 years, the campus has grown alongside the adjacent St. Anthony Park neighborhood, which has provided housing and community for faculty, staff, and students. On this tour, we will walk through the beautiful campus grounds, looking at old and new buildings, and we will consider how the campus has adapted to meet the changing needs of the University.
