Mill District Non-Profits to Provide Educational Opportunities to Twin Cities Students

The Mill City Museum and the McKnight Foundation, two cornerstones of the Mill District on the Minneapolis Riverfront, are working together to offer free admission to the museum.  What a great opportunity to learn about the colorful history of birthplace of Minneapolis.  We take tours at MCM frequently, and think they do an outstanding job of entertaining while educating.

MPS K-12 Teachers: Free admission to Mill City Museum!
Mill City Museum offers a wide range of educational opportunities for Minnesota's K-12 students. Thanks to the gracious support of The McKnight Foundation, Mill City Museum is able to offer free museum admission and partially subsidized busing for students from qualified public schools. To qualify, schools must be from the Twin Cities metro area, have at least 50 percent of their students enrolled in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program and visit the museum in January, February or March. Registration begins October 1 for schools that did not receive a McKnight Foundation Scholarship last year. Schools that visited the museum on the scholarship last year are welcome to apply starting October 15. Space is limited.
