Mill City Museum - Exploring Flour Power in MinneapolisAnother excellent site from the Minnesota Historical Society is Mill City Museum in downtown Minneapolis. Housed in the ruins of the Washburn A Mill, the museum chronicles the storied past of what once made Minneapolis the Flour Milling Capital of the World.
Local humorist, playwright and radio personality Kevin Kling takes a light hearted look at the city every half hour, and it's included in your admission price. There's a lot we didn't know about Minneapolis before watching this film and we think you'll find it very entertaining. After the film we took the self guided tour of exhibits, checked out the Baking Lab and soaked in the power of flour.
The Flour Tower and Movie alone are worth the price of admission to this most wonderful museum. For more information, see the Mill City Museum official website HERE. After, or before, your visit to the museum, be sure to check out Mill Ruins Park just beyond down by the river. On the National Register of Historic Places, walk around ruins of the Mill industry and over the historic Stone Arch Bridge.
In the meantime, here's a view from our eye while at the Museum and Mill Ruins Park.
