Historic Main Street Walking Tour September 17, 2011

The town of St. Anthony was established on the east side of the Mississippi in 1848, a few years before its neighbor Minneapolis started on the west side. Despite that head start, Minneapolis annexed St. Anthony in 1872. Stroll through Minneapolis' oldest neighborhood with a Mill City Museum guide, who will highlight the rich past and exciting future of historic Main Street. The tour will explore life in the village of St. Anthony, changes along Main Street throughout the years, and such landmarks as the 1855 Upton Block, 1858 Martin and Morrison Building, Our Lady of Lourdes Church, the Pillsbury A Mill and the Chalybeate Mineral Springs. This tour will begin and end at Pracna Restaurant, 117 Main Street S.E.
