Overlooking the mighty Mississippi River, St. Cloud sits 60 miles northwest of the Twin Cities at the center of Minnesota's fastest-growing metropolitan area. With approximately 60,000 residents, St. Cloud (named after a Paris suburb) offers a diversity of culture, accommodations, and activities. Top attractions include Munsinger and Clemens Gardens, with their lush plant life and Mississippi River backdrop, and Stearns History Museum, where the town's past, along with a 1919 auto and a miniature circus, are on display. The renovated Paramount Theater offers terrific entertainment options, and biking and hiking are easily accessible at Quarry Park and on both the Lake Wobegon and Beaver Island Trails. Downtown's tree-lined streets and specialty shops offer small-town charm, as do the Central Business District (listed on the National Historic Registry), Stearns County Courthouse, and The Granite Trio, a sculpture celebrating one of the city's key industries. In the vicinity are also a number of notable universities, including St. Cloud State University, Saint John's University, and the College of St. Benedict.
Did you know?
The joint institution of Saint Benedict's College (for women) and Saint John's University (for men) is ranked at the top of the country's liberal arts Catholic colleges. Its strength of scholarship is also reflected in SJU's decision (with Saint John's Abbey) to create a handwritten Bible, known as the Saint John's Bible. The new tome is more than 1000 pages and is 2' x 3' in size. Its illustrations reflect learning in the contemporary era, and the Bible is one of the few handwritten examples since the 15th century.
