Mankato Community Education

See the only remaining restored Gangster Era site in Saint Paul. Come on our Historic Cave Tour, and see the extensive caves carved into the hillside in long abandoned mining ventures in 1800's. These caves later, became a mushroom farm, and then developed as a Restaurant Casino and Gangster Hotspot during the 1930's prohibition era. Newspapers reported of an unsolved gangland murder at the casino, and tour guides point out the bullet holes, and tell stories of ghostly activity (voted most haunted place in Minnesota by the Star Tribune). Weekly "Down in History" Tours of the caves, plus Seasonal themes thru out the year, such as: The Original Saint Paul Gangster Tour, Haunted Halloween, Ghosts & Graves, and special group tours. The Wabasha Street Caves are the perfect blend of history and intrigue in the heart of Saint Paul.
