Mill Ruins Park opened on Oct. 1, 2001, to celebrate the history of 19th-century ruins that were once mills and powered by St. Anthony Falls on the Mississippi. During the 19th-century, flour became what put Minneapolis on the map and was exported around the nation and world.
The Park is known as the focal point of the Minneapolis Milling District.
Visitors to Mill Ruins Park can experience dramatic historic flour mill ruins, remnants of a railroad bridge, and an excavated tailrace canal, as well as biking and walking paths.
See the National Park Service website or St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board for more information.
