ABANDONED - HISTORICAL MILL RUINS - Mill City Park - Downtown Minneapolis - Matt's Rad Show
Mill City Park is home to a lot of Historical Ruins all dating back to the late 1800's. This area was the capital of the world for Flour production in the late 1800's and into the early 1900's. We also take a walk on the Stone Arch Bridge, which is one of the most historical bridges in the world for it's design. It was abandoned as an old train bridge and then re-purposed as a pedestrian walk way.
We also take a quick look at the Mill City Museum and take a look at a building that exploded from a Mill Fire caused by Flour dust.
We also find the tunnels where the water used to run in and out of the mills. Some amazing historical ruins just sitting here in a park in downtown Minneapolis.

Mill Ruins Park - Minneapolis, MN
In the milling district, archaeologists found clues suggesting that there were still extensive remains of the foundations of the mills and waterpower system.
Mill Ruins Park - Minneapolis, MN
Along with the remains of several flour mills and other industrial buildings, the park also contains two stone piers and several iron girder piers that held a trestle for the Minneapolis Eastern Railroad. The tailraces from the waterpower canal are also clearly visible, and the water flow has been restored through the canal. Signs posted along the walkways interpret the ruins and the history of the area.

Minneapolis is a major city in Minnesota that forms Twin Cities with the neighboring state capital of St. Paul. Bisected by the Mississippi River, it's known for its parks and lakes. Minneapolis is also home to many cultural landmarks like the Walker Art Center, a contemporary art museum, and the adjacent Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, famed for Claes Oldenburg's Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture.
Minneapolis is the biggest and artiest town on the prairie, with all the trimmings of progressive prosperity – swank art museums, rowdy rock clubs, organic and ethnic eateries and edgy theaters. It's always happenin', even in winter. And here's the bonus: folks are attitude-free and the embodiment of 'Minnesota Nice.' Count how many times they tell you to 'Have a great day,' come rain or shine or snow.
Districts of Minneapolis :
Downtown
The central business district, major sports and theater venues, the city's main clubbing area in the Warehouse District, Loring Park, Elliot Park, and the historic mill ruins along the Mississippi.
South
West Bank, Seward, Midtown, Nokomis, Longfellow, and Minnehaha Park
Southwest
Uptown, Lyn-Lake, Linden Hills, Eat Street, and the Chain of Lakes
North
Near North, Camden, Bryn Mawr and Theodore Wirth Park.
Northeast
The birthplace of Minneapolis in Old Saint Anthony, old victorian houses on Nicollet Island, and further north the old working class enclaves of Northeast that are now home to a growing artist community.
Southeast
Dinkytown, Prospect Park, Como, and the University of Minnesota
Towering glass skyscrapers, stunning blue lakes and rivers, tree canopied city streets, premier shopping, state of the art cuisine and entertainment, and a modern transportation network and infrastructure characterize this rapidly growing city and justify its identity as the upper midwest's premier (if not only) metropolis.
Minneapolis was destined to be a center of commerce due to its location at the Falls of St. Anthony, which was named by the French explorer Fr. Louis Hennepin in 1680. St. Anthony Falls is by far the largest source of water power on the Mississippi River. The falls were harnessed to power lumber mills in the 1840s and later for flour milling. By 1870, Minneapolis on the west bank and St. Anthony on the east bank formed the largest flour producing center in the world. In 1872, Minneapolis absorbed its older neighbor. Most of the old St Anthony township is now known as Northeast Minneapolis. A small part of the old township comprises most of the current suburb of St. Anthony

Old Minneapolis
A archival trip down memory lane through the power of social media. A Facebook site promoting old Minneapolis pictures create a nostalgia phenomenon. The story won a regional Emmy in 2012 for History/Nostalgia.
Flour Mill Ruins, Old Stone Bridge, Saint Anthony Falls
This area in Minneapolis Saint Paul had many flour mills on the good old days. One side had Gold Medal Flour and the other side Pillsbury Flour. Wheat was brought to town and got made into flour. It was big business in the day. One side is now restored ruins and a state historical site. Down below outside you see more of the ruins plus you can walk on the historical Old stone Bridge. There is also a Lock there so boats can get up and down on the river.
Mill Park Ruins
I was going through some footage from our time in the States and realized I had never posted this. Obviously the weather was kinder and gentler.
The Falls within Mill Ruins Park*
Mill Ruins Park is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis and is adjacent to St. Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge. As the centerpiece of the revitalization of Minneapolis' historic West Side Milling District, Mill Ruins Park combines an exploration of the history of Minneapolis with present day activities for all ages.
In its 19th-century heyday, this area of mills, canals, tailraces and other historic resources comprised the largest direct-drive water-powered facility in the world and was the leading international producer of flour, a commodity which was shipped both nationwide and worldwide.
This industrial powerhouse was the catalyst for the development of Minneapolis and the birthplace of a number of companies which remain significant to this day, including General Mills, Pillsbury, Washburn Crosby (WCCO), and Xcel Energy.
Mill Ruins Park lies within the St. Anthony Falls Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mill Ruins Park is directly adjacent to the 1883 Stone Arch Bridge, a National Historic Engineering Landmark constructed to connect Midwestern farmers and their crops of wheat to the booming flour production mills.
The park tells this story through the now exposed historic walls and waterpower features long buried beneath many feet of sand and gravel. With the reopening of the historic tailrace canal, which carried water from the mill turbines back to the river, visitors have the opportunity to interact directly with an exciting water feature.

About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation — the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment — which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.

Vanished Twin Cities-Part I-In the beginning
An early history of Minneapolis, as seen through the experiences of a grand old building, now long forgotten. The birth of the Minneapolis Exposition Building is a story of rival cities, twin cities, and an ego driven fight by newly rich and powerful men in both cities over the location of the Minnesota State Fair, which originally was a statewide travelling show .
Part one of this story details the humble beginnings of Minneapolis, and its rapid growth into the flour milling capital of the world. Big money, big dreams, and big egos brought forth the largest building ever built in Minneapolis at that time. The style and architecture of the time is also showcased, with period piece music helping show and sound what it was like to live in Minneapolis 150 years ago.
