Minneapolis, Minnesota (Red Wing, Minnesota
Did you know that Minneapolis is where Scotch tape, the bundt pan, Bisquick and pop-up toasters were invented? Even a healthy natural wonder, like the Honeycrisp apple, was conceived by a program at the University of Minnesota. The most populous city in Minnesota, Minneapolis is known for its parks and lakes and cultural landmarks. St. Paul, its sister city, has a historic feel with classic architecture, neighborhoods, and traditions. The Port of Minneapolis, the northernmost port on the Mississippi River System, is 17 nautical miles upriver of St. Paul.
