One of my favorite things to do when visitors come from out of town is to ride the Historic Stillwater Trolley Tour. The 45 minute tour is a fun way to the see the highlights of Stillwater and learn so many fun facts and history of our beautiful river town. After the trolley tour, you will find so many great places to eat along Main Street. We decided to have lunch at The Dock Cafe right across the street from the trolley stop. The restaurant is right on the water of the St Croix River with a large patio, panoramic views from the dining room, and delicious menu. For dessert we took a scenic drive on the old highway to downtown White Bear Lake for old fashioned soft ice cream at Cup and Cone.
