Set on the picturesque St. Croix River, Stillwater is one of the oldest towns in Minnesota. Despite the town's small size, it offers an abundance of excellent spas, shops, and art galleries, many of which are open for at least part of the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Rooftop patios are especially popular with the restaurants and bars here, and live music performances are often held at the town's various brewpubs and wine bars. However, many visitors come here to simply kick back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the river and the bluffs found around the town.
