Wabasha Street Caves

Field review by the editors.

Saint Paul, Minnesota

These extensive caves, carved into the hillside, were sometimes used as a mushroom farm and sometimes served as a speakeasy. A gangland murder, similar to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, reportedly took place in them. Tour guides point out the bullet holes.
