About
Mill City Museum is inside the burned-out shell of what was once the largest flour mill in the world, run by the Minnesota Historical Society. The museum has the Flour Tower elevator show, hands-on water and baking labs and a rooftop view over the river. Tickets are sold only at the door. A paid 60-minute Millers' Tour is held on selected dates this autumn. Days and times are not given here: check the museum's hours page.
Run by: Minnesota Historical Society.
