TRAVEL TIP #3  -   WHILE IN STILLWATER...stairs

NEED SOME EXERCISE?

TRY CLIMBING THE HISTORIC STILLWATER STAIRS!!

 

Downtown Stillwater, built in 1848,  reminds us of the hillsides of  

San  Francisco.    Enjoy Stillwater's  historic stairs that  the

townspeople used  to go shopping on Main Street in days of old.   Today people climb the stairs for an incredible view....to say they DID IT...

or to get some GREAT exercise!   Our stairs include, Main Street Stairs, Chestnut Street Stairs, Pioneer Park Stairs, and Triangle Park Stairs.    We double dare you to do them all.    And, while you are at it, walk across the historic lift bridge so that you can also say you visited Wisconsin!
