Tonight is Opening Night of An 'Eventually' Christmas: Holidays at the Mill - The 1st of 4 Nights at Mill City Museum

Kim and I have attended "Eventually' Christmas the past 2 years, and have tickets for the December 10 performance this year.  This kicks off the holiday season for us, and is an entertaining way to give our daughters of taste of Minneapolis history without them knowing it.  The shows always sell out fast, so reserve your tickets soon.

Times: 6:00pm, 7:00pm and 8:00pm

Location: Mill City Museum, 704 2nd Street South

This unique theatrical event performed in the museum's Flour Tower elevator ride, features "The Ghost of Mill City Past" guiding an intimate look at the 1920 Washburn Crosby holiday party.

The Ghost of Mill City Past

The script is based on real stories taken from the pages of the company's employee newspaper. Scenes unfold on different floors of the mill and visitors will meet different characters along the way. Witness the rocky romance of Celia and Otto; meet marketing mastermind Benjamin S. Bull; experience the awesome sweeping power of Bill Smith; and learn the secret origin of the Washburn Crosby marketing slogan, "Eventually-Why Not Now?"
