St. Paul's rich Irish legacy is all aboard a new bus tour that's set to take locals through a journey of the city's shamrock-laden past. As reported by the City of Blaine's official website, the upcoming Saint Paul Irish Influence Bus Tour is slated for March 5 – and it promises culture, history, and a hearty bite of the Emerald Isle's culinary delights.

History buffs and Hibernophiles alike can revel in stories of the Irish settlers at Fort Snelling, delve into the political landscape, and discover just how linked the St. Paul Police Department is to Irish roots – all narrated by an Irish immigrant. With the convenience of wheels underfoot, the tour spans from 10 AM to 3:30 PM. Tickets are at $95. The registration deadline is on Februaary 2.

The tour isn't just a mobile history lesson, though. After guests have their fill of facts, they'll pad their stomachs at O'Malley's Irish Pub in Woodbury. As shared on BlaineMN.gov, an enticing lunch menu awaits – choose between a homemade shepherd's pie, beefed up with diced sirloin and veggies or a classic fish and chips affair, complete with hand-battered cod. Each meal comes with the added bonus of a non-alcoholic beverage to wash it all down.

Those looking to trace their Irish lineage, or just in it for the pub grub, can register by dialing 763-786-9375, or by visiting BlaineMN.gov to hit the MAYCRegister button online. Make no mistake, this journey through St. Paul's Irish history will offer more than just a pint of knowledge.
