There will be contests and hijinks, special period cocktails, and great summer baseball, too. Dressing in 1920s attire is encouraged, but not required.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28 -FRONTENAC/MISSISSIPPI RIVER

CLOSED - We're sorry. This tour is now full. There are no additional seats available at this time (4/14/2017).

Old Frontenac had been a favorite Mississippi resort spot for the upper crust of Saint Paul for many years by the time Fitzgerald signed into the Frontenac Inn in July, 1909. Many of his friends and his sister, Annabel, were also guests of the Inn that summer. Because the founder of the town forbade commercial development, the town has changed very little in the past 108 years. Come see a time capsule of turn-of-the-last century resort life, with great vistas of the mighty Mississippi. See a reproduction of the "pig-tail" bridge where Fitzgerald rode his bike in 1909. Lunch is included in tour price. Some walking may be part of the tour.
