Stillwater, Minnesota

A Mississippi River town where antique shops line brick streets and paddle wheelers drift past Victorian homes.

Stillwater moves at the pace of its namesake river backwaters, where century-old storefronts house antiquarians and artisans who know your coffee order by the third visit. The town spreads up steep bluffs from the water, its Victorian mansions and warehouses creating intimate pockets that feel more like discovered neighborhoods than tourist districts.
