Today we had a great field trip to Mill City Museum! We learned a lot and had some excellent experiences.
Here are a few highlights:
- Water equals power and electricity
- The Washburn A. Mill was the largest in the world. It is very old.
- The Mississippi River has one major waterfall - the St. Anthony Waterfall which we could see from the observation deck at the museum.
- Minneapolis means Waterfall + City.
- The explosion of the mill was caused by flour dust and could be felt as far away as Stillwater.
