Autumn weekends are fleeting, so most Minneapolitans do what they can to soak in every minute of fall’s beauty and activities. Minneapolis and Saint Paul have plenty of fall activities to partake in, but since they’re so metropolitan, there isn’t room for the same sort of charm smaller towns have during the autumn. The town of Stillwater is the perfect destination for those who can’t get enough of autumn.
