Instead of Stillwater, this town should be named Still Waiting (in the 1800's), in recognition of the vintage appeal of this popular tourist stop. The downtown area is quite large for a relatively small town, with an abundance of shopping, sidewalk cafes and other dining. There are more antique and art stores than I could count. Several paddlewheeler ships are ready to board for your cruise on the Mississippi. Stillwater is often referred to as the 'Birthplace of Minnesota' because in 1848 this town hosted a territorial convention that began the process of statehood Stillwater is just 20 miles east of Minneapolis/St. Paul. EARNS OUR HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
