Beacon above Holman Field in Saint Paul MN

This is a photo of the old airway beacon on the bluff above Holman

Field in Saint Paul MN. It marked the end of the route from Chicago to St. Paul.

Downtown St. Paul is to the right of the beacon in this view and in the distance is Minneapolis.

Interesting. A bit of searching indicates it is known as the Indian Mounds Park "Airway" Beacon.

And a bit more about the route - CAM 9

Next time I’m in town visiting relatives I need to visit that site.

The last time I was in that area my wife and I had lunch with my oldest brother and his wife at Holman’s Table, a decent restaurant in Holman Field.
