True Confessions Gangster Tour

Now I hate to drag a skeleton out of the city closet but…did you know three of Dillinger's Gang member were killed in this city?

Sr. Celeste has been in Heaven for over a century but she graciously returns to tell the tales that both enlighten and put the fear of God in her listeners!

In the Middle Ages people learned about Good and Evil by watching Morality Plays. During Prohibition people in St. Paul people learned about Good and Evil by watching a handful of corrupt officials do business with a parade of convicted felons they invited to “layover for a little while”.

A tour that explores the lesser known chapter of the city’s history when America’s Most Wanted lived and died on the streets of St. Paul.

Notable sites include the Lowry Hotel, Mickey's Diner, the Hamm’s Casino, Patrick’s Novelty, the Green Lantern, Rice Park, Hotel St. Francis, the Palace Theatre, the Old Police Station and more.

These are stories not easily offered up in any confessional!

Afterwards, fortify yourself with a little refreshment in the Group Confessional at (Sr. Celeste’s former convent home)!

Tour includes a select beverage afterwards in the Hotel Bar!
