A spot where Oscar Wilde stepped off a train to visit Minneapolis, the place where Josephine Baker danced, the original name of the Gay 90s (now housed in the building shown here, being constructed in 1921), the first known gay and lesbian bars in the city…this tour focuses on secrets and important sites of significance to the local LGBTQ community. Some sites are well-remembered, while others have been demolished and are largely forgotten. Please be aware that sexuality is a focus of this tour; parental discretion is strongly recommended.
This tour walks about a mile; the tour guide is Stewart Van Cleve.
