St. Paul – Learning from Place: Rondo Tour

Learning from Place: Rondo Tour is a bus tour comprised of ten historic sites, a walking tour of Rondo Plaza, and a unique opportunity to be engaged in a service project with the Hallie Q. Brown Center. The bus and walking tour will be guided by Marvin Anderson a resident who is acknowledged as “the Godfather” of Rondo. This event begins and concludes at the historic Hallie Q. Brown Center with a presentation and tour led by Benny Roberts, Executive Director.

Historically, the Rondo Neighborhood has taken pride in its Black owned businesses, churches, schools, and the significance of being of service to neighbors when in need. During the mid-1950s, the construction of Interstate 94 began the devastation that divided the community physically and economically. This revitalization tour holds fast the passion of those who never gave up the vision of regaining the vibrancy and strength that once existed in Rondo.
