Mill City Museum

Why go

The museum turns a former working mill into an account of water power, machinery and the people who worked there. The Flour Tower moves through recreated mill floors, then the rooftop observation deck looks toward Saint Anthony Falls. Visiting after a riverfront walk helps connect the ruined walls to the water that drove the industry.

What to look for

• The Washburn A Mill ruins remain visible around the museum.
• The Flour Tower uses an elevator ride to interpret working mill floors.
• The rooftop deck looks toward Saint Anthony Falls and the riverfront.

Useful to know

• Leave enough time for the Flour Tower and rooftop as well as the galleries.
• Pair the museum with a riverfront walk to see the mill's setting outside.
