Minneapolis Sights

  1. Mill City Museum

    You can pick up a free trail map at the Mill City Museum . To learn more about the era when Minneapolis led the world in flour milling, pay the admission price and descend the stairs. The building is actually a former mill, and the highlight is a ride inside an eight-story grain elevator ('the Flour Tower'). There are also Betty Crocker exhibits and a baking lab that gives out free samples. Honestly, the whole thing is a bit dull unless you're really into milling history.
