Situated just northwest of the metro Twin Cities area, the city of St. Cloud
is naturally separated into east and west by the lively Mississippi River, whose
banks provide many of the city's snapshot and recreational opportunities. Often
referred to as Granite Country, this St. Cloud commodity has been used in some
of the country's finest buildings and is just one of the topics explored at
the Stearns History Museum. A swarm of visitors pack the Munsinger Gardens and
Clemens Gardens each summer, attracted by the thousands of flowers and bushes
that make up the more than six distinct gardens contained within. Despite its
smaller population (under 60,000 people), St. Cloud boasts three post-secondary
institutions, which are responsible, in part, to the city's fairly liberal and
cultural atmosphere.
