Location: Mill City Museum, 704 S 2nd Street
Celebrate Women's History Month with a day devoted to the women of Mill City.
Enjoy performances by Mill City Museum History Players portraying 19th and 20th-century women who contributed to Minnesota history and Minneapolis' flour milling, like the female flour packers known as "mill girls" who began working at the Washburn A Mill in 1902. By 1919 dozens of women worked as packers on the 5th floor of the Utility Building, which became known as "No Man's Land."
Plus, guests can explore the exhibits, dress up and have their picture taken as a 1950s mill worker, and make a paper hat like women flour packers wore in 1919.
