Mill City Museum

My parents came to visit last weekend and we all went to the Mill City Museum on Saturday. It was very interesting and very kid friendly. I'm not sure who had more fun...Grandpa Jerry learning about how that huge plant used to mill flour or the kids playing with all the hands-on exhibits. There were great views of the Mississippi River from the observation deck.

They have a neat Flour Tower ride you can go on. You ride in a converted freight elevator up & down through the old mill to see how it used to operate. Pretty cool!

That sounds fun! You guys seem like your pretty good about getting out and exploring local sites. There are so many things I'd like to do right around here - the Capital and Fort Snelling are on my list for the summer.
