Enjoying Rice Park in Downtown Saint Paul, Minnesota

Land was donated to Saint Paul in 1849 for an open public space.  Over the years additions to Rice Park made it a comfortable place to spend time.
 

The Source by Alonzo Hauser

was donated by the Women's

Institute of Saint Paul in 1965.

The statue and the fountain represents Rice Park as the source of cultural, political, educational and natural resources in Saint Paul.
