Book Description
Twin Cities Uncovered takes you from restored barns to fragrant apple orchards to the “Mighty Mississippi Bicycle Adventure” that runs from Minneapolis to cities far across America. Ride the antique, hand-carved carousel at the Minnesota State Fair, or stroll the “Mississippi Mile” along the cobblestone Main Street to a row of quaint shops, charming restaurants, and coffee houses on the water’s edge. Recall the romance of Longfellow’s “Hiawatha” by the showers of Minnehaha Falls, or step back in time and share the lifestyle of immigrant settlers at a living museum.
