What To Expect

The Happy Gnome

We'll meet in the parking lot of The Gnome Craft Pub and become oriented with the basics of Fitzgerald's kinetic life. From there, we'll make our way along the sidewalks of a collection of residential streets while seeing Fitzgerald's homes and hangouts. We'll pause in parks where Fitzgerald played, see his former school building as well as the private social club that he was never allowed to join. As you walk, you'll hear details about the author's boyhood in St. Paul plus his later adult life. Our private, 2-hour walking loop will return us back to the tour starting point.
