Cultural Corridor
Briefing Paper
-1 of 1-
Background
St. Paul is a city whose large number of historical and cultural
entities sets it apart from any other city in the state. Many of
_ these are in and around the Downtown District. They include
attractions such as the St. Paul Civic Center, the Ordway
Theater, the Minnesota Museum of Art, the Science Museum of
Minnesota, the Cafesjian Carousel, the World Theater, the
Children's Museum, the Landmark Center, the State Capitol, the
new Minnesota Historical Society Center, the J.J. Hill Museum,
the F. Scott Fitzgerald home, and the Alexander Ramsey House.
These entities are in close proximity to each other, creating a
natural historical and cultural district.
Issue
Although the locations of these entities create a natural
"corridor" there has been very little coordinated promotion. The
attractions all do their own promotion, much of which duplicates
work being done by other attractions. The creation of a State
recognized "Cultural Corridor" will help spur cooperation. It
will also help identify the area as a destination for tourists
from across the State and the region.
Recommendations
The City should support State legislation that would recognize
the creation of a Cultural Tourism/Historic Preservation District
that would encompass all or most of the attractions described
above and would grant some level of funding to be used for
initial planning of coordinated efforts of the attractions within
the District.
