St. Paul's fine libraries, museums, art galleries, theaters, and notable examples of architecture, such as the Cathedral of St. Paul and the State Capitol, draw visitors from many places. These, and the efforts that have preserved the city's historic milieu will enhance realization of the Green vision. They will be treasured as the priceless assets they are -- not only for tourist dollars, but for giving new citizens, both children and immigrants, a sense of the city's past as a sacred Dakota site, a French-Indian settlement, a frontier boom town, and a hub for transportation and government. Those who have no past can lay no claim to the future. St. Paul has both.
