For 2 hours, you'll enjoy my private, guided walk in a historic, charming neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota, as we stroll past the birthplace, homes and haunts of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the famous author of "The Great Gatsby" and other notable American novels. While we walk, you'll learn about Fitzgerald's lively life and the Roaring '20s, and also hear anecdotes about his hometown shenanigans. In addition, while we amble, residential architecture buffs will be able to spot many types of popular Victorian home styles in this historically preserved area. Are you a fan of the wild Jazz Age, Gatsby and Fitzgerald's novels? Like discovering how the everyday life of a local boy impacted his later celebrity status? Enjoy meandering outdoor sidewalks among mature trees, parks, and historic buildings? This tour is for you.
We'll meet on the sidewalk in front of The Gnome Craft Pub on Selby Ave. in St. Paul and get oriented with the basics of Fitzgerald's kinetic life. From there, we'll: - Make our way along the sidewalks of a collection of leafy residential streets while seeing Fitzgerald's many homes and hangouts - Pause in parks where Fitzgerald played - See his former school building - View the private social club that Fitzgerald was not allowed to join - Hear surprising details about the author's boyhood in St. Paul plus his later adult life - Return back to the tour starting point at the conclusion of the 2-hour walking loop This outdoor tour is most engaging and informative when the weather cooperates. The itinerary can be easily adjusted to accommodate changing weather and your personal schedule. Please inquire. NOTE: Tour does not include home interiors. NOTE: Restrooms are not available during this tour.
