Mill City Museum Trip

We are off to the Mill City Museum, Minneapolis, and we hope you will come along! June 27th, leaving Cannon Falls by school bus at 9:30 am and returning around 4.

Take a ride back in time at the Mill City Museum. The ruins of what was once the world’s largest flour mill have been turned into an exploratory venture into the flour industry, the city of Minneapolis and the Mississippi river.

The museum offers the chance to take a look at the milling industry and the impact it had on the city. Today, visitors can explore the rich history and participate in the storytelling of this part of Minneapolis. Witness baking demonstrations, sample fresh bread, observe a model mill explosion, get an amazing view of St. Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge from the rooftop observation deck (bring your camera for some of the best views of the city), experience the Flour Tower, and while you’re there be sure to watch “Minneapolis in 19 Minutes Flat!” Shop at the Museum store. This is truly a Minneapolis icon that you don’t want to miss.

We will stop for lunch (on your own) at Cracker Barrel in Lakeville on the way home, returning to Cannon Falls around 4 pm.
