Mill Ruins Park

Highlight • Historical Site

Mill Ruins Park is located in downtown Minneapolis and shows the ruins of several flour mills dating back to the late 1850's. The park was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It also offers views of Stone Arch Bridge, St. Anthony Falls, and the Mississippi River.

Saint-Anthony-Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The falls were formed about 9800 years ago about 12 kilometers downstream at the confluence of the Mississippi River with the glacial River Warren at what is now Fort Snelling near the airport.

As Minneapolis and its former neighbor, St. Anthony, developed, water power from the falls became a source of energy for various industries. Water power was used by sawmills, spinning mills, and flour mills. More on the history:

Mill Ruins Park

Highlight • Historical Site

In the Mill Ruins Park there are still some old buildings and facilities from the time of the flour mills. All the ruins were opened to the public and the aim was to create values for education, tourism and commercial development of the area. Within the framework of archaeological research, excavations took place between 1998 and 2001.

Bassett Creek is an ancient water catchment that flows 12 miles from its source at Plymouth's Medicine Lake, meandering through golf courses, parks and backyards in the western suburbs. However, once the creek reaches the city, it quickly vanishes into a vast tunnel that travels deep underground until it reaches its outlet, about 75 feet east of the West River Parkway Trail through the Bassett Creek Tunnel, a stone arch culvert built back in 1890.
