8 days in Bloomington Itinerary

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Minnesota State Capitol and Summit Avenue. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Historic Fort Snelling and Pond-Dakota Mission Park and Gideon Pond House. Get out of town with these interesting Bloomington side-trips: Cannon River Winery (in Cannon Falls), Historic Downtown Hastings (in Hastings) and Northfield Historical Society Museum and Historic Bank Site (in Northfield). And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at Northwest Airlines History Centre, steep yourself in history at Landmark Center, stroll around Hyland Lake Park Reserve, and explore the different monuments and memorials at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.
