Join us for a family-friendly day in support of Books for Africa!

Either hop on the 11:50 Borealis train from Union Depot in St. Paul with BFA Founder Tom Warth and other BFA supporters, or drive and meet us at the Red Wing train station at 12:30 p.m.

Follow the ancient Founder (as 89-year-old Tom humously calls himself) of BFA through the town and climb the 400 feet historic Barn Bluff for fantastic views of the city and Mississippi River Valley both North and South. After the climb, enjoy refreshments or explore the charming shops of historic Red Wing.

Afterwards, you can ride the train back at 5:40, return home on your own, or stay the night at the St. James Hotel or a B&B in Red Wing.
