Why you should go…
Built inside the burned-out ruins of what was once the world's largest flour mill, this museum tells the story of how flour built Minneapolis, capped by the Flour Tower, an eight-story elevator ride through the old mill floors. The rooftop observation deck delivers one of the best views of St. Anthony Falls and the riverfront. History has rarely been this photogenic.
