Dayton’s Bluff
Dayton’s Bluff is an early residential neighborhood with many attractive older houses. It is located just east of downtown St. Paul. The Mississippi River runs along the south side of the neighborhood, creating high bluffs with attractive views of the river and downtown. The previous inhabitants of this area had great respect for the river too, as this is home to Indian Mounds Park, a 2000-year-old Native American burial ground overlooking the river.Downtown
