About

In 1853 St. Paul was indeed a frontier town. Dirt streets, log cabins and steamboats were the order of the day. As early as 1852 the Minnesota Pioneer newspaper called for an organizational Farmers' Market. A Market House, a two-story brick building, was constructed at Seventh and Wabasha streets. It was St. Paul's first public market. While fresh produce was only available during the season, dairy products, flour, cakes and candies could be purchased year-round.
