MN If you bring a car, you must make the 20 minute

was built upon the logging industry. The gorgeous bluff with 7 steeples and
historic lift bridge have made this town a favorite for movie shots. Drop the
guys off for golf at the incredibly scenic Saint Croix National course, while
the ladies tour the town’s antiques and specialty shops and walk along the
