Explore a unique and fascinating experience at the Wabasha Street Caves, an event hall in the sandstone caves on the south shore of the Mississippi River. This historic site has a rich history dating back to the 1800s as a mining site. Later, it converted into a mushroom farm and eventually became a Restaurant Casino and Gangster Hotspot during the prohibition era of the 1930s. Today, Wabasha Street Caves is the only restored Gangster Era site in Saint Paul. The Historic Cave Tour allows you to explore the extensive caves carved into the hillside. You will uncover the site's history, including an unsolved gangland murder at the casino, as you see bullet holes and hear stories of ghostly activity. Wabasha Street Caves offers weekly "Down in History" Tours and seasonal themes throughout the year, such as The Original Saint Paul Gangster Tour, Haunted Halloween, Ghosts & Graves, and special group tours.
