Mill City Museum
The old Gold Medal Flour factory is now a unique museum. An entertaining Minneapolis in 19 Minutes Flat chronicles the area’s history. It recalls the time when Minneapolis was the world’s milling capital of the world. Visitors can board a renovated freight elevator, the Flour Tower, sit on its bleacher-like seats and move up and down the eight stories. With lights, sound, and commentary from actual mill workers, they learn about flour milling. On the eighth floor there is a sweeping view of the Mississippi and St. Anthony Falls.
