Mill City

Today we went to the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis.  In social studies we have been talking about how communities change over time.  We talked about the St. Anthony Falls area and how it has changed over the years.  We discussed the reasons why people moved to the area (mills, mills, and more mills).  The students learned how crucial water power was to the mills-that's the reason they were started in the first place!
