Alexander Ramsey House

On Friday we all went to tour the Alexander Ramsey house in St. Paul. Alexander Ramsey was the first governor of Minnesota and his home was donated directly to the Historical Society after the family passed away. It is still furnished with over 14,000 original artifacts. When you tour the house you are greeted by workers dressed in authentic 1800's clothing and since it is the holiday season the house was decorated as it would have been long ago. We even got to sample cookies baked in the wood burning stove.

After walking around the neighborhood, we loaded up and drove over to Minneapolis for some lunch. We found a great sub shop near the U of M and then drove through the older parts of the city before we headed home.
