Highlights

On this tour, you get to hear about some of Stillwater's most interesting ghosts and legends, including:

• Father Hennepin, the missionary who explored Minnesota in the 17th Century, called the St. Croix River, the “River of the Grave” because it was a place where the natives buried their dead. Many young men wound up missing in the river and there was one man who was better at finding dead bodies than anyone else. In fact, he had a business card that read “John Jeremy, Expert Recoverer of Drowned Bodies.”
• The Arcola Trail Bridge sits almost 200 feet in the air over the St. Croix and people claim to have seen the apparition of a young lady in a white dress who walks up and down the train tracks. It’s said that this is the girlfriend of a man who fell into the river off the bridge and that she came back to look for him after he disappeared. Is she the one who carries the mysterious blue light people have seen over the train tracks?
