  • The mission of Elder Trekker is to encourage seniors to remain both physically and mentally active as they age. In this video, Elder Trekker takes you on a walk through the old immigrant community called Swede Hollow, past the Hamms Brewery complex, and up to the Eastside Heritage Park. I hope this video inspires you to walk this portion of the Bruce Vento Regional Trail for yourself and to learn more about the people and business that made the east side of St. Paul their home.

    Note:
    Although brisk walking is safe for most adults, it’s always a good idea to check with a doctor before you begin an exercise program. This is especially true if you haven’t exercised for a while.

    I’ve biked through Swede Hallow many times. I’ve stopped on occasion to look at and appreciate the masonry work on the Seventh Street Arches.

    Very well done. The vast history of MSP is so interesting and vital and yet somehow neglected. Keep up the good work!

    Walking through the east side around there best to walk with other people and maybe a dog. Having your concele and carry wouldn't hurt either.

      @@aldelvex235I’ve ridden through Swede H. many times over the years but have never seen encampments, but I haven’t been over there since last spring. I hope they don’t make a big mess of things.
      I am an avid user of our parks and trails, we are so lucky to have so many to choose from.

    A story I heard about the area was that the Swede Hollow village was burned down because African Americans were starting to take up residence there.
