On the Grid : Mill City Museum

"Located on the Mississippi Riverfront, the Mill City Museum is built into the ruins of the Washburn Mill, once the world's largest flour mill. Today it is opened to the public so all can see the exhibit galleries and beautiful views of the river from the 9th floor observation deck." - TheSiteEdge Web Design & SEO

"Located along the Mississippi riverfront, the Mill City Museum rises eight stories from the limestone ruins of what was once the world’s largest flour mill. Today, this National Historic Landmark houses antique milling equipment, vintage advertising, and exhibitions on the wheat farms, and visitors can ride the grain elevator, watch a movie about Minneapolis’s humble beginnings, learn how the Mississippi River powered all the local mills, and sample freshly made treats in the Baking Lab. There’s also an observation deck with panoramic views over the city, and the Ruin Courtyard, which hosts events and live music throughout the year. When hunger strikes, head to the on-site restaurant, Bushel & Peck, for lunch fare like burgers, sandwiches, and salads."
