Marine on St. Croix, MN is a remarkably preserved river village where historic buildings, quiet streets, and the natural beauty of the St. Croix River create a slower, more thoughtful kind of day trip. Visitors can explore the village center, stop at Minnesota’s oldest continuously operating general store, enjoy the riverfront, and experience a community that has protected its small-town character.
