Choose one guided lesson from one of four themes: People, Power, Flour OR Place

  • People: Meet a character from Minnesota's past, learning about history through the character's life and stories. 
  • Power: How does water equal power? Find out through a class in the museum's Water Lab. Steer logs downriver, build a mill city, and use the mighty Mississippi's current to the millers' advantage.
  • Flour: Spend time in our Baking Lab, modeled after the test kitchens of Pillsbury and General Mills. Groups of students will learn how flour is an important staple in our daily lives.
  • Place: Learn about the workers and machines that transformed Minneapolis into the flour milling capital of the world.
