There is no better place to absorb the vibe and history of Stillwater than historic Main Street, directly across from the riverfront. The charming street runs for several blocks, lined with historic brick buildings that now play host to trendy restaurants, cute boutiques, and beautiful accommodations.
Constructed in 1931 The Stillwater Lift Bridge carries State Highway 36 over the St. Croix River between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Today car traffic was rerouted to the St. Croix Crossing Bridge, while foot and bicycle traffic is open on the lift bridge.
Downtown Stillwater was developed on a series of hills, all overlooking the St. Croix River and the surrounding valley. Five sets of historic steps were put into the hillsides to help make it easier to get to the business districts below. Today the stairs are not only here for convenience, but they also give visitors a natural form of exercise, and, of course, a chance to take in the beautiful views.
