I'm looking for a guide that provides a list of Historical roadside
stops that like this one...
http://www.saltyrain.com/steve/neworleans/new%20orleans%20sign.jpg (I
realize this one is in New Orleans).
I'm looking for a list of these that are available in Minnesota and
how to find these spots.
I would also like a list of 9/11 memorials in Minnesota.  
Thank-you.

Greetings kitch8-ga!

Here are some guides that provide information about various roadside
attractions in Minnesota.
I am also including the very limited information I could find about
9-11 memorials/ tributes in
Minnesota.

If you have any questions about the information in which I have
provided, do feel free to request a clarification of my answer. Please
be sure to allow me enough time to respond to your clarification
request before rating the answer.

Thanks so much! chellphill-ga

I'm amazed that you even found the 9.11 stuff on Geocaching.com...that
is the main reason I asked this question.
