Forepaugh's Restaurant occupies a meticulously restored Victorian mansion constructed in 1870 by Joseph Forepaugh, a prominent Saint Paul dry goods merchant whose business reached half a million dollars in annual sales by 1864. Set in St. Paul's historic Irvine Park neighborhood, the property passed through several owners over the decades before opening as a restaurant in 1976. Following an extensive restoration that began in 2022, the venue reopened in 2024 with a renewed emphasis on contemporary American fine dining. The mansion's original architectural details — hand-carved woodwork, crystal chandeliers, and period fireplaces — remain intact throughout its dining rooms. For private events, Forepaugh's offers the intimate Limestone Wine Cellar, a third-floor space with panoramic views of downtown Saint Paul, and a terrace suited for outdoor gatherings. A dedicated events team works with clients to tailor weddings, corporate events, milestone celebrations, and private dinners within this historic Saint Paul landmark.

The collection spans nearly 100,000 works representing 5,000 years of world history, and admission to the permanent galleries is always free. Private events at Mia unfold across versatile indoor and outdoor spaces with views of downtown Minneapolis.
